15 But now, do [a](A)consider from this day [b]onward: before one (B)stone was placed on another in the temple of the Lord, 16 [c]from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty [d]measures, there would be only twenty. 17 I struck you and every work of your hands with (C)scorching wind, mildew, and hail; [e]yet you did not come back to Me,’ declares the Lord. 18 ‘Do [f](D)consider from this day [g]onward, from the (E)twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was (F)founded, [h]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 produced fruit. Yet from this day on I will (G)bless you.’”

20 Then the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai on the (H)twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, 21 “Speak to (I)Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, ‘I am going to (J)shake the heavens and the earth. 22 And I will (K)overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the (L)power of the kingdoms of the [i]nations; and I will (M)overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the (N)horses and their riders will go down, (O)every one by the sword of another.’
