Bible: Hag. 2:15-19
2:15 Now therefore reflect carefully on the recent past, 1 before one stone was laid on another in the Lord ’s temple. 2 2:16 From that time 3 when one came expecting a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures from it, there were only twenty. 2:17 I struck all the products of your labor 4 with blight, disease, and hail, and yet you brought nothing to me,’ 5 says the Lord . 2:18 ‘Think carefully about the past: 6 from today, the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, 7 to the day work on the temple of the Lord was resumed, 8 think about it. 9 2:19 The seed is still in the storehouse, isn’t it? And the vine, fig tree, pomegranate, and olive tree have not produced. Nevertheless, from today on I will bless you.’”
