Malachi 3:7-9

Complete Jewish Bible

⁷ Since the days of your forefathers
you have turned from my laws and have not kept them.
Return to me, and I will return to you,”
says Adonai-Tzva’ot.
“But you ask, ‘In respect to what
are we supposed to return?’
⁸ Can a person rob God?
Yet you rob me.
But you ask, ‘How have we robbed you?’
In tenths and voluntary contributions.
⁹ A curse is on you, on your whole nation,
because you rob me.
