Malachi 3:8-10

Robbing God

⁸ "Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
'In what way have we robbed You?'
_s In tithes and offerings. ⁹ You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation. ¹⁰ _t Bring all the tithes into the _u storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,"
Says the LORD of hosts,
"If I will not open for you the _v windows of heaven
And _w pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
