15 But now, do [a](A)consider from this day [b]onward: before one (B)stone was placed on another in the temple of the Lord, 16 [c]from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty [d]measures, there would be only twenty. 17 I struck you and every work of your hands with (C)scorching wind, mildew, and hail; [e]yet you did not come back to Me,’ declares the Lord. 18 ‘Do [f](D)consider from this day [g]onward, from the (E)twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was (F)founded, [h]consider: 19 Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree, it has not produced fruit. Yet from this day on I will (G)bless you.’”
