Haggai 2:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And Aggeus said: If one that is unclean by occasion of a soul touch any of all these things, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered, and said: It shall be defiled.

¹⁵ And Aggeus answered, and said: So is this people, and so is this nation before my face, saith the Lord, and so is all the work of their hands: and all that they have offered there, shall be defiled.

¹⁶ And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord.
