Malachi 3:6-12
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

Revised Standard Version
Do Not Rob God
6 “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed. 7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?’ 8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How are we robbing thee?’ In your tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me; the whole nation of you. 10 Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house; and thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing. 11 I will rebuke 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 all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.
