Haggai 2:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ Then Haggai answered, “The Lord says, ‘This is also true for the people of this nation. They are ·unclean [defiled], and everything they do with their hands is unclean to me. Whatever they offer at the altar is also ·unclean [defiled].

¹⁵ “‘·Think about [Consider; ^LSet your heart on] this from now on! Think about how it was before you started laying stones on top of stones to build the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. ¹⁶ A person used to come to a ·pile of grain expecting to find twenty basketfuls [^Lheap of twenty measures/ephahs], but there were only ten. And a person used to come to the wine vat to take out fifty ·jarfuls [measures; ^Lbaths], but only twenty were there.
