Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Malachi 3:7-12

We have here God's controversy with the men of that generation, for deserting his service and robbing him?wicked servants indeed, that not only run away from their Master, but run away with their Master's goods. I. They had run away from their Master, and quitted the work he gave them to do (Mal. 3:7): You have gone away from my ordinances and have not kept them. The ordinances of God's worship were the business which as servants they must mind, the talents which they must trade with, and the... read more

And all nations shall call you blessed ,....

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Malachi 3:12

Verse 12 This verse is taken from the law, in which among other things God promises so happy a state to his chosen people, that the nations themselves would acknowledge in them the blessing of God. There is yet a contrast to be understood, — that having fallen into such misery, they were become as it were detestable to all nations, according to what the law also declares concerning them, “If thou shalt keep my precepts, all nations shall call thee blessed; but if thou wilt despise me, thou... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 3:7-12

§ 2. God indeed is faithful to his promises, but the people's own conduct has occasioned the withholding of favours: they have been shamefully negligent in the matter of tithes and offerings; let them amend their practice, and they shall be blessed. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Malachi 3:7-12

A Divine complaint and a Divine invitation. "Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances," etc. In these words we have two things—a Divine complaint and a Divine invitation; and both are addressed to sinners. Notice— I. A DIVINE COMPLAINT AGAINST SINNERS . The complaint involves three charges. 1 . The charge of apostasy. "Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances." Your fathers who brought on themselves the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Malachi 3:12

All nations shall call you blessed - The promise goes beyond the temporal prosperity of their immediate obedience. Few could know or think much of the restored prolificalness of Judaea; none could know of its antecedents. A people, as well as individuals, may starve, and none know of it. Had the whole population of Judah died out, their Persian masters would not have cared for it, but would have sent fresh colonists to replace them and pay the tribute to the great king. The only interest, which... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Malachi 3:1-18

Cheating God (2:17-3:18)When the Jews saw surrounding nations prosper while they suffered hardship, they complained that God was not just. Other nations made no effort to keep God’s law, whereas Israel was his people (17). Malachi replies that if justice is what the Jews want, then justice is what they will have; but they must realize that such justice will apply to them as well as to their heathen neighbours. They have asked for the God of justice; now he will come and do his work of justice... read more
