10 Bring ye all the tenths to the house of treasure, and food shall be in my house, and try me now in this, said Jehovah of armies, if I will not open to you the lattices of the heavens, and empty out to you a blessing, even is it not a sufficiency. 11 And I rebuked upon the eater for you, and he shall not corrupt for you the fruit of the earth; and the vine in the field shall not be barren to you, says Jehovah of armies. 12 And all nations pronounced you happy, for ye shall be a land of delight, said Jehovah of armies. 13 Your words were strong against me, said Jehovah. And ye said, What did we speak against thee? 14 Ye said, Vanity to serve God: and what profit that we watched his watches, and that we went mourning from the face of Jehovah of armies? 15 And now we pronounce the proud happy; also they working injustice were built up; also they tried Jehovah and they will be delivered. 16 Then they fearing Jehovah spake each to his neighbor, and Jehovah will attend and will hear, and write a book of remembrance before him for those fearing Jehovah, and for thinking upon his name. 17 And they were to me, said Jehovah of armies, for the day which I make wealth; and I spared for them as a man will spare for the son serving him. 18 And ye turned back and saw between the just to the unjust, and between him serving God and to him serving him not.
