Malachi 3:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ Since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my laws and have not followed them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of Armies.

“But you ask, ‘How can we return?’

⁸ “Can a person cheat God? Yet, you are cheating me!

“But you ask, ‘How are we cheating you?’

“When ⌞you don’t bring⌟ a tenth of your income and other contributions. ⁹ So a curse is on you because the whole nation is cheating me!
