15 But now, please consider[a] from this day forward, before one stone was placed on another in the temple of Yahweh, 16 from that time when[b] one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten, and when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures,[c] there were only twenty. 17 I struck you with blight, and with plant mildew, and hail, all the work of your hands. But you did not come back to me,’[d] declares[e] Yahweh. 18 Please consider[f] from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of Yahweh’s temple was laid,[g] consider:[h] 19 Is there still seed in the store chamber? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still produce nothing? From this day forward I will bless you.’”
