Haggai 2:16 Cross References - NSB

¹⁶ »You would go to a pile of grain looking for twenty bushels, but there would be only ten. You would go to draw fifty gallons of wine from a vat and find only twenty.

⁹ Honor Jehovah with your wealth and give him the best of all you have. ¹⁰ Your barns will be filled with plenty. Your vats will overflow with new wine.

⁶ »You sow much and reap little. You eat but you do not have enough! You drink and yet you are not filled. You clothe yourselves but you are not warm. You earns wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.«

⁹ »You looked for much harvest and you received little. When you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?« Said Jehovah of Hosts. »Because my house lies in waste, while each of you run to his house. ¹⁰ »It is because of you that the sky above you withholds the dew, and the earth below withholds its produce. ¹¹ »I brought drought on the land and its hills, grain fields, vineyards, and olive orchards. Yes drought on every crop the ground produces, on people and animals, on everything you try to grow.«

¹⁰ »Before those days, there was no wage for man or beast. The enemy set everyone against his neighbor and going or coming there was no peace.« ¹¹ »I will not treat the remnant of this people the same as it was in the former days,« said Jehovah of Hosts. ¹² »There will be peace for the seed. The vine will give its fruit. The ground will yield its increase. The heavens will offer their dew and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things!

² »You must honor me by your actions. If you will not listen to what I say, and give glory and honor to my name, I will bring a curse on you. I will put a curse on the things you receive for your support. I have already put a curse on you. Your blessings are cursed already because you do not take my command seriously.
