Malachi 3:6-12
New American Standard Bible
6 “For [a]I, the Lord, (A)do not change; therefore you, the sons of Jacob, have not come to an end.
7 “From the (B)days of your fathers you have turned away from My statutes and have not kept them. (C)Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of armies. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
You Have Robbed God
8 “Would anyone rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?’ In (D)tithes and [b]offerings. 9 You are (E)cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the entire nation of you! 10 (F)Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and put Me to the test now in this,” says the Lord of armies, “if I do not (G)open for you the windows of heaven and (H)pour out for you a blessing until [c](I)it overflows. 11 Then I will rebuke the (J)devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground; nor will the vine in the field prove fruitless to you,” says the Lord of armies. 12 “(K)All the nations will call you blessed, for you will be a (L)delightful land,” says the Lord of armies.

Lexham English Bible
An Overflowing Blessing
6 “For I, Yahweh, have not changed,[a] and you, O children of Jacob, have not perished.[b] 7 From the days of your ancestors[c] you have turned aside from my rules, and have not kept[d] them! Return to me and I will return to you,” says Yahweh of hosts, “but you say, ‘How shall we return?’
8 Will a human dare to rob God? Yet you are robbing me! And you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In the tithes and the contributions! 9 You are being cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you! 10 Bring the whole tithe to the storehouse,[e] so that there will be food in my house, and test me please in this,” says Yahweh of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour forth for you an overflowing blessing.[f] 11 I will rebuke the devourer[g] for you; it will not destroy the fruit of your soil; your vine in the field will not be unfruitful,” says Yahweh of hosts. 12 “And all the nations will call you blessed, because you will be a land in which one takes joy,”[h] says Yahweh of hosts.
