⁸ The Lord will send his blessing on your store-houses and on everything to which you put your hand: his blessing will be on you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

¹⁰ But it is right for you to give to him, without grief of heart: for because of this, the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all your work and on everything to which you put your hand.

²¹ Then I will send my blessing on you in the sixth year, and the land will give fruit enough for three years.

¹⁸ And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.

¹⁰ Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it.

¹¹ And on your account I will keep back the locusts from wasting the fruits of your land; and the fruit of your vine will not be dropped on the field before its time, says the Lord of armies

⁹ Give honour to the Lord with your wealth, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:

¹⁰ So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels overflowing with new wine.

³ Like the dew of Hermon, which comes down on the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord gave orders for the blessing, even life for ever.

¹⁰ And old stores long kept will be your food, and you will take out the old because of the new;

⁴ Then I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase and the trees of the field will give their fruit;

⁵ And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.

²⁴ Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!

²⁵ And which of you by taking thought is able to make himself any taller?

³⁰ Let them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.

²⁶ See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

¹⁹ Is the seed still in the store-house? have the vine and the fig-tree, the pomegranate and the olive-tree, still not given their fruit? from this day I will send my blessing on you.

¹³ Our store-houses are full of all good things; and our sheep give birth to thousands and ten thousands in our fields.

⁴ You are my King and my God; ordering salvation for Jacob.

⁸ But the Lord will send his mercy in the daytime, and in the night his song will be with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

²⁷ And he said, If the Lord does not give you help, where am I to get help for you? from the grain-floor or the grape-crusher?
