Malachi 3:10-11

Robbing God

10 a Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby b put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open c the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. 11 I will rebuke d the devourer 1 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.
