Haggai 2:12-14
International Standard Version
12 “If a man carries consecrated meat in the folds of his garment, and if his garment touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any other edible thing,[a] will these things become consecrated?”’”[b]
The priests answered, “No.”
13 So Haggai responded, “If someone who is unclean[c] because of contact with a dead body were to touch any of these things, would they become unclean?”[d]
The priests responded, “They would be unclean.”[e]
14 Then Haggai answered, “‘That’s how I look at this people and this nation,’ declares the Lord. ‘And that’s how it is with everything they undertake[f] and with what they offer there—it is unclean.[g]
