6 “I the Lord do not change. So you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed.
7 Since the time of your ancestors, you have disobeyed my rules and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord All-Powerful.“But you ask, ‘How can we return?’
8 “Should a person rob God? But you are robbing me.“You ask, ‘How have we robbed you?’“You have robbed me in your offerings and the tenth of your crops.
9 So a curse is on you, because the whole nation has robbed me.
10 Bring to the storehouse a full tenth of what you earn so there will be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord All-Powerful. “I will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out all the blessings you need.
11 I will stop the insects so they won’t eat your crops. The grapes won’t fall from your vines before they are ready to pick,” says the Lord All-Powerful.
12 “All the nations will call you blessed, because you will have a pleasant country,” says the Lord All-Powerful.
