10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,That there may be food in My house,And try Me now in this,”Says the Lord of hosts,“If I will not open for you the windows of heavenAnd pour out for you such blessingThat there will not be room enough to receive it.
11 “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”Says the Lord of hosts;
12 “And all nations will call you blessed,For you will be a delightful land,”Says the Lord of hosts.
13 “Your words have been harsh against Me,”Says the Lord,“Yet you say,‘What have we spoken against You?’
14 You have said,‘It is useless to serve God;What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance,And that we have walked as mournersBefore the Lord of hosts?
15 So now we call the proud blessed,For those who do wickedness are raised up;They even tempt God and go free.’ ”
16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another,And the Lord listened and heard them;So a book of remembrance was written before HimFor those who fear the LordAnd who meditate on His name.
