Haggai 2:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ So Haggai told them, ‘This is what the Lord says: This nation and its people are just like that. They are unclean. So everything that they do is also unclean. All the gifts that they offer to me are unclean. I could not accept them. ¹⁵ Think carefully what life was like before you started again to build the Lord's temple. Do not forget that. ¹⁶ In those days, you hoped to get 20 bags of grain from your fields. But you only got ten bags. You hoped to get 50 jars of wine from your grapes. But you only got 20 jars.
