1 The oracle of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.^[a]

^9 (A)You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. ^10 (B)Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby ^(C)put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open ^(D)the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. ¹¹ I will rebuke ^(E)the devourer^[a] for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. ¹² Then ^(F)all nations will call you blessed, for you will be ^(G)a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.
