8Will a man rob God? yet you rob me. But you say, Wherein have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings.
9You are cursed with the curse; for you rob me, even this whole nation.
10Bring the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, says Yahweh of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough [to receive it].
11I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, says Yahweh of Hosts.
12All nations shall call you happy; for you shall be a delightful land, says Yahweh of Hosts.
13Your words have been stout against me, says Yahweh. Yet you say, What have we spoken against you?
14You have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully before Yahweh of Hosts?
