¹⁵ “Now from this day on, think carefully: Before one stone was placed on another in the Lord’s temple, ¹⁶ what state were you in?^[a] When someone came to a grain heap of twenty measures, it only amounted to ten; when one came to the winepress to dip fifty measures from the vat, it only amounted to twenty. ¹⁷ I struck you—all the work of your hands—with blight, mildew,^(A) and hail,^(B) but you didn’t turn to me—this is the Lord’s declaration. ¹⁸ From this day on, think carefully;^(C) from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid; think carefully. ¹⁹ Is there still seed left in the granary? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet produced. But from this day on I will bless you.”^(D)
