Malachi 3:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

Stealing From God

⁶ “I am the Lord, and I don’t change. You are Jacob’s children, and you have not been completely destroyed. ⁷ But you never obeyed my laws. Even your ancestors stopped following me. Come back to me, and I will come back to you.” This is what the Lord All-Powerful said.

“You say, ‘How can we come back?’

⁸ “People should not steal things from God, but you stole things from me.

“You say, ‘What did we steal from you?’

“You should have given me one-tenth of your things. You should have given me special gifts.
