Haggai:2:10-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month ,
in the second year of Darius ,
came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet ,
saying ,
*
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
Ask now the priests concerning the law ,
saying ,
*
If one shall bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment ,
and with his skirt shall touch bread ,
or pottage ,
or wine ,
or oil ,
or any food ,
shall it be holy ?
And the priests answered and said ,
No .
*
Then said Haggai ,
If one that is unclean by a dead body shall touch any of these ,
shall it be unclean ?
And the priests answered and said ,
It shall be unclean .
*
Then answered Haggai ,
and said ,
So is this people ,
and so is this nation before me ,
saith the LORD ;
and so is every work of their hands ;
and that which they offer there is unclean .
*
And now ,
I pray you ,
consider from this day and upward ,
from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD :
*
Since those days were ,
when one came to a heap of twenty measures ,
there were but ten :
when one came to the press-vat to draw out fifty vessels out of the press ,
there were but twenty .
*
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labors of your hands ;
yet ye turned not to me ,
saith the LORD .
*
Consider now from this day ,
and upward ,
from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month ,
even from the day that the foundation of the LORD '
S temple was laid ,
consider it .
*
Is the seed yet in the barn ?
yes ,
as yet the vine ,
and the fig-tree ,
and the pomegranate ,
and the olive-tree ,
hath not brought forth :
from this day will I bless you .
