   unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?   
      
   8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we   
   robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.   
      
   9 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.   
      
   12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome   
   land, saith the LORD of hosts.   
      
   13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say,   
   What have we spoken so much against thee?   
      
   14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we   
   have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the   
   LORD of hosts?   
      
   15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are   
   set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.   
      
   16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the   
   LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written   
   before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.   
      
   17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I   
   make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son   
   that serveth him.   
      
   18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the   
   wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.   
      
   Malachi Chapter 4   
      
   1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the   
   proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that   
   cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave   
   them neither root nor branch.   
      
   2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise   
   with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves   
   of the stall.   
      
   3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the   
   soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.   
      
   4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in   
   Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.   
      
   5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the   
   great and dreadful day of the LORD:   
      
   6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the   
   heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth   
   with a curse.
