Haggai

Haggai 2:14–17

14Then Haggai replied, “So it is with this people and this nation before Me, declares the LORD, and so it is with every work of their hands; whatever they offer there is defiled.

15Now consider carefully from this day forward:c Before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the LORD, 16from that time, when one came expecting a heap of twenty ephahs of grain,d there were but ten. When one came to the winepress to draw out fifty baths,e there were but twenty. 17I struck you— all the work of your hands— with blight, mildew, and hail, but you did not turn to Me, declares the LORD.
