Haggai 2:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ I smote you and all the products of your toil with blight and mildew and hail; yet you did not return to me, says the Lord. ¹⁸ Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider: ¹⁹ Is the seed yet in the barn? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still yield nothing? From this day on I will bless you.”
