jub Malachi:3:6-18 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For I [
am ]
the LORD ,
I have not changed ;
therefore ,
ye sons of Jacob have not been consumed .
*
Even from the days of your fathers ,
ye had departed from my ordinances and had never kept [
them ].
Return unto me ,
and I will return unto you ,
said the LORD of the hosts .
But ye said ,
In what shall we return ?
*
Will a man rob God ?
Yet ye have robbed me .
But ye say ,
In what have we robbed thee ?
In the tithes and the offerings .
*
Ye [
are ]
cursed with a curse :
for ye ,
even this whole nation ,
have robbed me .
*
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse ,
and there shall be food in my house ,
and prove me now in this ,
said the LORD of the 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 reprehend the devourer for your sakes ,
and he shall not destroy the fruits of the ground ;
neither shall the vine in the field abort ,
said the LORD of the hosts .
*
And all the Gentiles shall call you blessed :
for ye shall be a delightsome land ,
said the LORD of the hosts .
*
Your words have prevailed against me ,
saith the LORD .
Yet ye say ,
What have we spoken against thee ?
*
Ye have said ,
It [
is ]
vain to serve God ,
and what profit [
is it ]
that we have kept his law and that we walk mournfully before the LORD of the hosts ?
*
We say ,
therefore ,
now ,
that blessed are the proud and even that those that work wickedness are prospered ; [
those that ]
tempted God have escaped .
*
Then those that feared the LORD spoke one to another ,
and the LORD hearkened and heard [
it ],
and a book of remembrance was written before him for those that feared the LORD and for those that think in his name .
*
And they shall be mine ,
said the LORD of the hosts ,
in that day when I make up my jewels ;
and I will spare them ,
as a man spares his own son that serves him .
*
Therefore become ye converted ,
and ye shall make a difference between the just and the wicked ,
between him that serves God and him that did not serve him .:
