Haggai 2:14-17 (2:15) And Aggaeus answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord; and so are all the works of their hands: and whosoever shall approach them, shall be defiled {\I because of their early burdens: they shall be pained because of their toils; and ye have hated him that reproved in the gates}.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ ^(2:15) And Aggaeus answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the Lord; and so are all the works of their hands: and whosoever shall approach them, shall be defiled {\I because of their early burdens: they shall be pained because of their toils; and ye have hated him that reproved in the gates}. ¹⁵ ^(2:16) And now consider, I pray you, from this day and beforetime, before they laid a stone on a stone in the temple of the Lord, what manner of men ye were. ¹⁶ ^(2:17) When ye cast into the corn-bin twenty measures of barley, and there were only ten measures of barley: and ye went to the vat to draw out fifty measures, and there were but twenty. ¹⁷ ^(2:18) I smote you with barrenness, and with blasting, and all the works of your hands with hail; yet ye returned not to me, saith the Lord.
