What does it mean to be cursed by God?

Malachi 3:9 (ESV)

9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you.

To be cursed means the opposite of being blessed by God. To be blessed by God means to experience God’s favour, which finds expression in God working all things for the well-being of those who please him. To be cursed means to experience God’s disfavour, which finds expression in God working all things for the ruin of those who displease him.
