Malachia 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 ) .

Malachia 3:11 In-Context

9 Voi sarete maledetti di maledizione, perciocchè mi rubate, o nazione tutta quanta.
10 Portate tutte le decime nelle conserve, e siavi del cibo nella mia Casa; e fin da ora provatemi in questo, ha detto il Signor degli eserciti, se io non vi apro le cateratte del cielo, e non vi verso tanta benedizione che non le basterete.
11 Io sgriderò, oltre a ciò, per amor vostro, le bestie divoranti, ed esse non guasteranno più i frutti della terra, e le vostre viti non isperderanno più ne’ campi, ha detto il Signor degli eserciti.
12 E tutte le genti vi predicheranno beati; perciocchè voi sarete un paese di diletto, ha detto il Signor degli eserciti.
13 Voi avete usate parole dure contro a me, ha detto il Signore. E pur dite: Che abbiamo noi detto contro a te?
