Blessings for a Defiled People
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Haggai the prophet, saying, 11 “This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Ask the priests for a ruling. 12 If a man carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and it touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other food, does [that item] become holy?’ ”
“No,” replied the priests.
13 So Haggai asked, “If [one who is] defiled by contact with a corpse touches any of these, does it become defiled?”
“Yes, it becomes defiled,” the priests answered.
14 Then Haggai replied, “So [it is] with this people [and] this nation before Me, declares the LORD, and so [it is] with every work of their hands; whatever they offer there is defiled.
15 Now consider carefully from this day forward:[fn] Before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the LORD, 16 from that time, [when] one came expecting a heap of twenty [ephahs of grain],[fn] there were [but] ten. When one came to the winepress to draw out fifty [baths],[fn] there were [but] twenty. 17 I struck you—all the work of your hands—with blight, mildew, and hail, but you did not turn to Me, declares the LORD.
18 Consider carefully from this day forward—from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month], the day the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid—consider carefully: 19 Is there still seed in the barn? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet yielded [fruit]. But from this day on, I will bless you.”
