« Haggai 1Haggai 2Zech 1 »

10 On the ^atwenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came to Haggai the prophet, saying, 11 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘^aAsk now the priests about the law: 12 If a man carries ^aholy meat in the ¹fold of his garment and touches bread with ²this fold or cooked food, wine, oil, or any other food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered, “No.” 13 Then Haggai said, “^aIf one who is unclean from a ¹corpse touches any of these, will the latter become unclean?” And the priests answered, “It will become unclean.” 14 Then Haggai answered and said, “‘^aSo is this people. And so is this nation before Me,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and so is every work of their hands; and what they bring near to Me there is unclean. 15 But now, ^aoh set your heart to consider from this day ¹onward: from before one ^bstone was set on another in the temple of Yahweh, 16 ¹from when it was that one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, then there would be only ten; and from when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty troughs full, then there would be only twenty. 17 I struck you and every work of your hands with ^ascorching wind, mildew, and hail; ¹yet you did not come back to Me,’ declares Yahweh. 18 ‘^aOh set your heart to consider from this day ¹onward, from the ^btwenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of Yahweh was ^cfounded, set your heart to consider: 19 Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree, it has not borne fruit. Yet from this day on I will ^abless you.’”
