Haggai 2:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ But now, consider what will come to pass from this day on. Before a stone was placed upon a stone in the Lord’s temple, ¹⁶ how did you fare?^[a] When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. ¹⁷ I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and mildew and hail; yet you did not return to me, says the Lord.
