Haggai

Haggai 2:15–18

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.

¹⁸Consider carefully from this day forward — from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, the day the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid — consider carefully:
