Haggai 2:13-15

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹³ Haggai asked, “Suppose a person becomes unclean ^[a] by touching a corpse. If he touches any of these things, does that make them unclean?”

The priests answered, “That makes them unclean.”

¹⁴ Then Haggai answered, “In the same way, I have decided that these people are unclean, and so is this nation, declares the Lord. So is everything they do. Whatever offering they bring is unclean.

¹⁵ “And from now on, carefully consider this. Consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in the temple of the Lord.
