dourh@Malachi:3:6 @ For I am the Lord, and I change not: and you the sons of Jacob are not consumed.

dourh@Malachi:3:7 @ For from the days of your fathers you have departed from my ordinances, and have not kept them: Return to me, and I will return to you, saith the Lord of hosts. And you have said: Wherein shall we return?

dourh@Malachi:3:8 @ Shall a man afflict God? for you afflict me. And you have said: Wherein do we afflict thee? in tithes and in firstfruits.

dourh@Malachi:3:9 @ And you are cursed with want, and you afflict me, even the whole nation of you.

dourh@Malachi:3:10 @ Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and try me in this, saith the Lord: if I open not unto you the flood-gates of heaven, and pour you out a blessing even to abundance.

dourh@Malachi:3:11 @ And I will rebuke for your sakes the devourer, and he shall not spoil the fruit of your land: neither shall the vine in the field be barren, saith the Lord of hosts.

dourh@Malachi:3:15 @ Wherefore now we call the proud people happy, for they that work wickedness are built up, and they have tempted God and are preserved.

dourh@Malachi:3:16 @ Then they that feared the Lord spoke every one with his neighbour: and the Lord gave ear, and heard it: and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that fear the Lord, and think on his name.

dourh@Malachi:3:17 @ And they shall be my special possession, saith the Lord of hosts, in the day that I do judgment: and I will spare them, as a man spareth his son that serveth him.

dourh@Malachi:3:18 @ And you shall return, and shall see the difference between the just and the wicked: and between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.
