[[Malachi]] 3:8-12 discusses failure to pay the tithe or a "full tithe" as robbery of God, while payment of the tithe ensures God's blessing:
:''' 8''' ''Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing rob me. ! But you say, `'How are have we robbing theerobbed you?' In your tithes and offerings.'':''' 9''' ''You are cursed with a the curse, ; for you are robbing rob me; the , even this whole nation of you.'':'''10''' ''Bring the full tithes whole tithe into the storehousestore-house, that there may be food in my house; , and thereby put test me to the testnow in this, " says the LORD Yahweh of hosts, "if I will not open you the windows of heaven for you , and pour down for you an overflowing out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for.'':'''11''' ''I will rebuke the devourer for youyour sakes, so that it will and he shall not destroy the fruits of your soilground; and neither shall your vine cast its fruit before its time in the field shall not fail to bear, " says the LORD Yahweh of hostsHosts.'':'''12''' ''Then all "All nations will shall call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land of delight, " says the LORD Yahweh of hostsHosts.'':'''Revised Standard Edition'''
