Malachi 3:10-18 ▼

10 Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, That there may be food in My house, And try 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 be more than sufficiency.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your good, And he shall not destroy the fruits of your land; Neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, Saith the LORD of hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you happy; For ye shall be a delightsome land, Saith the LORD of hosts.

13 Your words have been all too strong against Me, Saith the LORD. Yet ye say: 'Wherein have we spoken against thee?'

14 Ye have said: 'It is vain to serve God; And what profit is it that we have kept His charge, And that we have walked mournfully Because of the LORD of hosts?

15 And now we call the proud happy; Yea, they that work wickedness are built up; Yea, they try God, and are delivered.'

16 Then they that feared the LORD Spoke one with another; And the LORD hearkened, and heard, And a book of remembrance was written before Him, For them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon His name.

17 And they shall be Mine, saith the LORD of hosts, In the day that I do make, even Mine own treasure; And I will spare them, as a man spareth His own son that serveth him.

18 Then shall ye again discern between the righteous and the wicked, Between him that serveth God And him that serveth Him not.
