Haggai 2:15-19

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵But 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. ¹⁷I 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: ¹⁹Is 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.’”

Haggai 2:15-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵“Now, reflect back from this day: Before one stone was placed on another in the Lord’s temple, ¹⁶what state were you in?^[a] When someone came to a grain heap of 20 measures, it only amounted to 10; when one came to the winepress to dip 50 measures from the vat, it only amounted to 20. ¹⁷I 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“Consider carefully^(C) from this day forward; from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid; consider it carefully. ¹⁹Is 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)
