You are being cursed with a curse,
        and you, the entire nation, are robbing me.
10 Bring the whole tenth-part to the storage house so there might be food in my house.
        Please test me in this,
says the Lord of heavenly forces.
See whether I do not open all the windows of the heavens for you
        and empty out a blessing until there is enough.[a]
11 I will threaten the one who wants to devour you
        so that it doesn’t spoil the fruit of your fertile land,
            and so that the vine doesn’t abort its fruit in your field,
says the Lord of heavenly forces.

You are under a curse(A)—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe(B) into the storehouse,(C) that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates(D) of heaven and pour out(E) so much blessing(F) that there will not be room enough to store it.(G) 11 I will prevent pests from devouring(H) your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,(I)” says the Lord Almighty.

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

10 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.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
