Malachi 3:8-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

You Have Robbed God

⁸ “Will a man ^[a]rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?’ In ^(A)tithes and ^[b]offerings. ⁹ You are ^(B)cursed with a curse, for you are ^[c]robbing Me, the whole nation of you! ^10 (C)Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be ^[d]food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not ^(D)open for you the windows of heaven and ^(E)pour out for you a blessing until ^[e](F)it overflows. ¹¹ Then I will rebuke the ^(G)devourer for you, so that it will not ^[f]destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,” says the Lord of hosts. ¹² “^(H)All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a ^(I)delightful land,” says the Lord of hosts.
