Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.

But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

​

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house,

and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts,

if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing,

that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
