Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ye [are] cursed with a curse,.... Or "with penury", as the Vulgate Latin version; which, though not a proper rendering of the word, is the meaning of the curse they were cursed with; rain was withheld from them for their sins, and the earth did not bring forth its usual increase; wherefore there was want of food in all their land; their blessings were cursed, as in Malachi 2:2 for the following reason,
for ye have robbed me; because of this their iniquity, in not bringing their offerings to the Lord, and the tithes to the priests and Levites, their land was stricken with barrenness, and God gave them cleanness of teeth, and want of bread in all places: or, "but ye have robbed me" d; notwithstanding they were thus chastised of the Lord, yet were not reformed, but went on in withholding from God and the priests, what belonged to them:
[even] this whole nation; the sin was become general, and therefore a general judgment was inflicted on them: Grotius thinks, that the people seeing the priests withhold the tithes from the Levites, they refused to pay them to them, and so the sin became universal. Kimchi observes, that in other sins charged upon the nation, the people were not all alike guilty, but in this which respected the tithes and offerings they were.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Ye have been cursed with the curse - (not âwith a curseâ). The curse threatened had come upon them: but, as fore-supposed in Leviticus by the repeated burden, âIf ye still walk contrary to Me,â they had persevered in evil. God had already shown His displeasure. But they, so far from being amended by it, were the more hardened in their sin. Perhaps as men do, they pleaded their punishment, as a reason why they should not amend. They defrauded God, under false pretences. They were impoverished by His curse, and so they could not afford to pay the tithes; as men say, âthe times are bad; so we cannot help the poorâ of Christ. âAnd Me ye still are defraudingâ Me, ye; man, God. And that not one or other, but this whole people. It was a requital as to that, in which they had offended. âBecause ye have not rendered tithes and first-fruits, therefore ye are cursed in famine and penury.â âBecause the people did not render tithes and first-fruits to the Levites, the Lord saith, that He Himself suffered fraud, whose ministers, constrained by hunger and penury, deserted the temple. For, if He is visited by others in prison, and sick, is received and cared for, and, hungry and athirst, receives food and drink, why should He not receive tithes in His ministers, and, if they are not given, be Himself deprived of His portion?â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Malachi 3:9. Ye are cursed with a curse — The whole nation is under my displeasure. The curse of God is upon you.
