⁶ “For ^[a]I, Yahweh, ^(A)do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, ^[b]are not consumed.

You Have Robbed God

⁷ “From the ^(B)days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. ^(C)Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says Yahweh of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’

⁸ “Will a man ^[c]rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?’ In ^(D)tithes and ^[d]contributions. ⁹ You are ^(E)cursed with a curse, for you are ^[e]robbing Me, the whole nation of you! ^10 (F)Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be ^[f]food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says Yahweh of hosts, “if I will not ^(G)open for you the windows of heaven and ^(H)empty out for you a blessing until ^[g](I)it is beyond enough. ¹¹ Then I will rebuke the ^(J)devourer for you so that it will not corrupt the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field ^[h]fail to bear,” says Yahweh of hosts. ¹² “^(K)So all the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a ^(L)delightful land,” says Yahweh of hosts.
