6. For I Jehovah change not, and ye, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
7. Since the days of your fathers have ye departed from my statutes, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall we return?
8. Will a man rob God But ye rob me. And ye say, Wherein do we rob thee? In tithes and heave-offerings.
9. Ye are cursed with a curse; and me ye rob, even this whole nation.
10. Bring the whole tithe into the treasure-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I open not to you the windows of the heavens, and pour you out a blessing, till there be no place for it.
