7. From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you", says the Lord "But you say, 'How have we robbed you?' In your tithes and contributions.

9. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you.

10. Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that thee may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test", says the Lord of hosts, "if I will not hopen the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

11. I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it willl not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear", says the Lord of hosts.

12. "Then all nations will call you blessed, for yo will be a land of delight", says the Lord of hosts.
