Malachi 3:12

Verse 12 of 18. The 3rd of 4 chapters in Malachi, in The Minor Prophets.

8Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In tithes and offerings.

9You are cursed with the curse; for you rob me, even this whole nation.

10Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this,” says the LORD of Armies, “if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be enough room for.

11I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before its time in the field,” says the LORD of Armies.

12“All nations shall call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land,” says the LORD of Armies.

13“Your words have been harsh against me,” says the LORD. “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against you?’

14You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God,’ and ‘What profit is it that we have followed his instructions and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of Armies?

15Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.’

16Then those who feared the LORD spoke one with another; and the LORD listened and heard, and a book of memory was written before him for those who feared the LORD and who honored his name.
