15 Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in Yahweh’s temple. 16 Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty. 17 I struck you with blight, mildew, and hail in all the work of your hands; yet you didn’t turn to me,’ says Yahweh. 18 ‘Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid, consider it. 19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven’t produced. From today I will bless you.’”

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.’”
