Malachi 3:8-12                      Amplified Bible (AMP)                                                                                                                                            1362

 

 8.   Will a man rob or defraud God? Yet you rob and defraud Me. But you say, In what way do we rob or 

       defraud You? [You have withheld your] tithes and offerings.

 

 9.   You are cursed with the curse, for you are robbing Me, even this whole nation.

 

 10.  Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My                    house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for

       you and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

 

 11.  And I will rebuke the devourer [insects and plagues] for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits                   of your  ground, neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field, says the Lord of hosts.

 

 12.    And all nations shall call you happy and blessed, for you shall be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.
