Malachi 3:10-12

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. ¹² Then _e all nations will call you blessed, for you will be _f a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.
