"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.
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.
And all
nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith
the LORD of hosts." (Malachi 3:10-12)
