International Standard Version
God’s Promise to His Sinful People
10 On the twenty-fourth day[a] of the ninth month[b] of the second year of the reign of[c] King Darius, this message from the Lord came to Haggai the prophet: 11 “This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: ‘Ask the priests about what the Law says: 12 “If a man carries consecrated meat in the folds of his garment, and if his garment touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other edible thing,[d] will these things become consecrated?”’”[e]
The priests answered, “No.”
13 So Haggai responded, “If someone who is unclean[f] because of contact with a dead body were to touch any of these things, would they become unclean?”[g]
The priests responded, “They would be unclean.”[h]
14 Then Haggai answered, “‘That’s how I look at this people and this nation,’ declares the Lord. ‘And that’s how it is with everything they undertake[i] and with what they offer there—it is unclean.[j]
