ylt @Malachi:3:6 @For I [am ] Jehovah , I have not changed , And ye , the sons of Jacob , Ye have not been consumed . ylt @Malachi:3:7 @Even from the days of your fathers Ye have turned aside from My statutes , And ye have not taken heed . Turn back unto Me , and I turn back to you , Said Jehovah of Hosts . And ye have said , 'In what do we turn back ?' ylt @Malachi:3:8 @Doth man deceive God ? but ye are deceiving Me , And ye have said : 'In what have we deceived Thee ?' The tithe and the heave-offering ! ylt @Malachi:3:9 @With a curse ye are cursed ! And Me ye are deceiving -- this nation -- all of it . ylt @Malachi:3:10 @Bring in all the tithe unto the treasure-house , And there is food in My house ; When ye have tried Me , now , with this , Said Jehovah of Hosts , Do not I open to you the windows of heaven ? Yea , I have emptied on you a blessing till there is no space . ylt @Malachi:3:11 @And I have pushed for you against the consumer , And He doth not destroy to you the fruit of the ground , Nor miscarry to you doth the vine in the field , Said Jehovah of Hosts . ylt @Malachi:3:12 @And declared you happy have all the nations , For ye are a delightful land , said Jehovah of Hosts . ylt @Malachi:3:13 @Hard against Me have been your words , Said Jehovah , and ye have said : 'What have we spoken against Thee ?' ylt @Malachi:3:14 @Ye have said , 'A vain thing to serve God ! And what gain when we kept His charge ? And when we have gone in black , Because of Jehovah of Hosts ? ylt @Malachi:3:15 @And now , we are declaring the proud happy , Yea , built up have been those doing wickedness , Yea they have tempted God , and escape .' ylt @Malachi:3:16 @Then have those fearing Jehovah spoken one to another , And Jehovah doth attend and hear , And written is a book of memorial before Him Of those fearing Jehovah , And of those esteeming His name . ylt @Malachi:3:17 @And they have been to Me , said Jehovah of Hosts , In the day that I am appointing -- a peculiar treasure , And I have had pity on them , As one hath pity on his son who is serving him . ylt @Malachi:3:18 @And ye have turned back and considered , Between the righteous and the wicked , Between the servant of God and him who is not His servant .
