Malachi 3:8-11

8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. ^aBut you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ ^bIn your tithes and contributions. 9 ^cYou are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. 10 ^dBring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby ^eput me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open ^fthe windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. 11 I will rebuke ^gthe devourer ^{▼▼Probably a name for some crop-destroying pest or pests} 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.
