8Would a human being rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, “How have we robbed you?” By withholding tithes and sacred contributions.

9You are under a curse because you are robbing me—all of you, the whole nation.

10Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house. Test me now in this matter, says Yahweh of Armies, and see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour out blessing beyond measure.

11I will rebuke the devourer for your sake, so that it will not destroy the fruit of the ground, and the vines in your fields will not lose their fruit before it ripens, says Yahweh of Armies.

12Then all the nations will call you blessed, for your land will be a delight, says Yahweh of Armies.
