For I am the LORD, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. Yet from the days of your fathers you have gone away from MY ordinances and have not kept them.
Return to Me, and I will return to you, says the LORD of hosts.
But you said, in what way shall we return?
Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed ME! Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, and prove Me now in this, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out on you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field, and all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land, says the LORD of hosts.
Your words have been harsh against ME, says the LORD, yet you say, what have we spoken against You? You have said it is vain to serve God; what profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, and that we have walked as mourners before the LORD of hosts? So...now we call the proud blessed, for those who do wickedness are raised up; yes, those who tempt God go free.
Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD listened and heard them; So.. a book of rememberance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name. They shall be Mine, says the LORD of hosts. On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.
Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.
AMEN
