Haggai 2:15-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 But now, consider what will come to pass from this day on. Before a stone was placed upon a stone in the Lord’s temple,(A) 16 how did you fare?[a] When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty.(B) 17 I struck you and every work of your hands with blight and mildew and hail, yet you did not return to me, says the Lord.(C) 18 Consider from this day on, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider:(D) 19 Is there any seed left in the barn? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still yield nothing? From this day on I will bless you.”
