Haggai 2:10-17

On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Haggai: “This is what the LORD of Armies says: Ask the priests for a ruling.  If a man is carrying consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and it touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other food, does it become holy? ”  The priests answered, “No.” Then Haggai asked, “If someone defiled by contact with a corpse touches any of these, does it become defiled? ”  The priests answered, “It becomes defiled.” Then Haggai replied, “So is this people, and so is this nation before me #— #this is the LORD’s declaration. And so is every work of their hands; even what they offer there is defiled. “Now from this day on, think carefully: Before one stone was placed on another in the LORD’s temple, what state were you in?  When someone came to a grain heap of twenty measures, it only amounted to ten; when one came to the winepress to dip fifty measures from the vat, it only amounted to twenty. I struck you #— #all the work of your hands #— #with blight, mildew,  and hail,  but you didn’t turn to me #— #this is the LORD’s declaration.
