Malachi:3:7-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances ,
and have not kept them .
Return unto me ,
and I will return unto you ,
saith the LORD of hosts .
But ye said ,
Wherein shall we return ?
*
Will a man rob God ?
Yet ye have robbed me .
But ye say ,
Wherein have we robbed thee ?
In tithes and offerings .
*
Ye are cursed with a curse :
for ye have robbed me ,
even this whole nation .
*
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse ,
that there may be meat in mine house ,
and prove me now herewith ,
saith the LORD 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 .
*
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes ,
and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground ;
neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field ,
saith the LORD of hosts .
*
And all nations shall call you blessed :
for ye shall be a delightsome land ,
saith the LORD of hosts .
*
Your words have been stout against me ,
saith the LORD .
Yet ye say ,
What have we spoken so much against thee ?
*
Ye have said ,
It is vain to serve God :
and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance ,
and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts ?
*
And now we call the proud happy ;
yea ,
they that work wickedness are set up ;
yea ,
they that tempt God are even delivered .
