Malaquias 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

Malachi 3:11

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes
Or "eater" F13; 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 Revelation 7:3 ) ( 9:4 ) .

Malaquias 3:11 In-Context

9 Vós sois amaldiçoados com a maldição; porque a mim me roubais, sim, vós, esta nação toda.
10 Trazei todos os dízimos � casa do tesouro, para que haja mantimento na minha casa, e depois fazei prova de mim, diz o Senhor dos exércitos, se eu não vos abrir as janelas do céu, e não derramar sobre vós tal bênção, que dela vos advenha a maior abastança.
11 Também por amor de vós reprovarei o devorador, e ele não destruirá os frutos da vossa terra; nem a vossa vide no campo lançará o seu fruto antes do tempo, diz o Senhor dos exércitos.
12 E todas as nações vos chamarão bem-aventurados; porque vós sereis uma terra deleitosa, diz o Senhor dos exércitos.
13 As vossas palavras foram agressivas para mim, diz o Senhor. Mas vós dizeis: Que temos falado contra ti?
