Return7725 unto me, and I will return7725 unto you, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635. But ye said0559, Wherein shall we return7725? 3:8 Will a man0120 rob6906 God0430? Yet ye have robbed6906 me. But ye say0559, Wherein have we robbed6906 thee? In tithes4643 and offerings8641. 3:9 Ye {are} cursed0779 with a curse3994: for ye have robbed6906 me, {even} this whole nation1471. 3:10 Bring0935 ye all the tithes4643 into the storehouse0214, that there may be meat2964 in mine house1004, and prove0974 me now herewith2063, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635, if I will not open6605 you the windows0699 of heaven8064, and pour you out7324 a blessing1293, that {there shall} not {be room} enough1767 {to receive it}. 3:11 And I will rebuke1605 the devourer0398 for your sakes, and he shall not destroy7843 the fruits6529 of your ground0127; neither shall your vine1612 cast her fruit7921 before the time in the field7704, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635. 3:12 And all nations1471 shall call you blessed0833: for ye shall be a delightsome2656 land0776, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635. 3:13 Your words1697 have been stout2388 against me, saith0559 the LORD3068. Yet ye say0559, What have we spoken1696 {so much} against thee? 3:14 Ye have said0559, It {is} vain7723 to serve5647 God0430: and what profit1215 {is it} that we have kept8104 his ordinance4931, and that we have walked1980 mournfully6941 before6440 the LORD3068 of hosts6635? 3:15 And now we call0833 the proud2086 happy0833; yea, they that work6213 wickedness7564 are set up1129; yea, {they that} tempt0974 God0430 are even delivered4422. 3:16 Then they that feared3373 the LORD3068 spake often1696 one0376 to another7453: and the LORD3068 hearkened7181, and heard8085 {it}, and a book5612 of remembrance2146 was written3789 before6440 him for them that feared3373 the LORD3068, and that thought2803 upon his name8034. 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith0559 the LORD3068 of hosts6635, in that day3117 when I make up6213 my jewels5459; and I will spare2550 them, as a man0376 spareth2550 his own son1121 that serveth5647 him. 3:18 Then shall ye return7725, and discern7200 between the righteous6662 and the wicked7563, between him that serveth5647 God0430 and him that serveth5647 him not.
