ISV(i)
16 When someone came to a pile of grain to get 20 measures, there were only ten. Or when someone approached the wine press to siphon out 50 measures, there were only 20.
17 I punished you and everything that you undertook—with scorching wind, with mildew, and with hail, and you still did not return to me,’ declares the LORD.
18 ‘Pay attention from now on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, when the foundation of the LORD’s Temple was laid. Pay attention!
19 Is there seed left in the granary? Up until now, neither the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, nor the olive tree has borne fruit, but from this very day I will bless you.’”
