Malachi 3:6-12
Christian Standard Bible
6 “Because I, the Lord, have not changed,(A) you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed.[a](B)
Robbing God
7 “Since the days of your ancestors, you have turned from my statutes; you have not kept them.(C) Return to me,(D) and I will return to you,”(E) says the Lord of Armies.
Yet you ask, “How can we return?”
8 “Will a man rob(F) God? Yet you are robbing me!”
“How do we rob you?” you ask.
“By not making the payments of the tenth and the contributions.(G) 9 You are suffering under a curse, yet[b] you—the whole nation—are still robbing me. 10 Bring the full tenth into the storehouse(H) so that there may be food in my house.(I) Test me in this way,”(J) says the Lord of Armies. “See if I will not open the floodgates of heaven(K) and pour out a blessing for you without measure.(L) 11 I will rebuke the devourer[c](M) for you, so that it will not ruin the produce of your land and your vine in your field will not fail to produce fruit,” says the Lord of Armies. 12 “Then all the nations will consider you fortunate, for you will be a delightful land,” says the Lord of Armies.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, have not perished.(A) 7 Ever since the days of your ancestors 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?”(B)
Do Not Rob God
8 Will anyone rob God? Yet you are robbing me! But you say, “How are we robbing you?” In your tithes and offerings!(C) 9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me—the whole nation of you! 10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing.(D) 11 I will rebuke the locust[a] for you, so that it will not destroy the produce of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not be barren, says the Lord of hosts. 12 Then all nations will count you happy, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.
