*
In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month ,
in the second year of Darius ,
the Word of Yahweh came by Haggai the prophet ,
saying ,
* "
Thus says Yahweh of Armies :
Ask now the priests concerning the law ,
saying ,
* '
If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment ,
and with his fold touches bread ,
stew ,
wine ,
oil ,
or any food ,
will it become holy ?'"
The priests answered , "
No ."
*
Then Haggai said , "
If one who is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of these ,
will it be unclean ?"
The priests answered , "
It will be unclean ."
*
Then Haggai answered , "'
So is this people ,
and so is this nation before me ,'
says Yahweh ; '
and so is every work of their hands .
That which they offer there is unclean .
*
Now ,
please consider from this day and backward ,
before a stone was laid on a stone in Yahweh '
s temple .
*
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 .
*
I struck you with blight ,
mildew ,
and hail in all the work of your hands ;
yet you didn '
t turn to me ,'
says Yahweh .
* '
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 .
*
Is the seed yet in the barn ?
Yes ,
the vine ,
the fig tree ,
the pomegranate ,
and the olive tree haven '
t brought forth .
From this day will I bless you .'"
