SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:11
Y reprenderé por vosotros al devorador, y no os corromperá el fruto de la tierra; ni la vid en el campo os abortará, dijo el SEÑOR de los ejércitos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Malachi 3:11
Verse 11. I wilt rebuke the devourer] The locusts, &c., shall not come on your crops; and those that are in the country I will disperse and destroy. Neither shall your vine cast her fruit] Every blossom shall bear fruit, and every bunch of grapes come to maturity.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes , etc.] Or “eater” f83 ; the locust or caterpillar, or any such devouring creature, that eats up the herbage, corn, and fruits of trees; every such creature is under the restraint of Providence; and by a nod, a rebuke, they are easily prevented doing the mischief they otherwise would; these are the Lord’s great army, which he can send and call off as he pleases, ( Joel 1:4 2:25): and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground ; as he has done, by eating all green things, as the locust, caterpillar, and canker worm do, grass, corn, and trees: neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field ; which some understand of the devourer or locust, that that should not cause the vine to be abortive, or cast its fruit before its time, or bereave it of it; but it seems best to interpret it of the vine itself not casting its fruit, as an untimely birth, by blighting and blasting winds: saith the Lord of hosts ; who holds the winds in his fists, and will not suffer them when he pleases, any more than the locusts, to hurt the trees of the earth, ( Revelation 7:1,3 9:4).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-12 - The men of that generation turned away from God, they had not kept his ordinances. God gives them a gracious call. But they said, Wherei shall we return? God notices what returns our hearts make to the call of his word. It shows great perverseness in sin, when men make afflictions excuses for sin, which are sent to part between them an their sins. Here is an earnest exhortation to reform. God must be served in the first place; and the interest of our souls ought to be preferred before that of our bodies. Let them trust God to provide for their comfort. God has blessings ready for us, but through the weaknes of our faith and the narrowness of our desires, we have not room to receive them. He who makes trial will find nothing is lost by honourin the Lord with his substance.
