Isn’t it true that your foot-dragging, halfhearted efforts at rebuilding the Temple of God were reflected in a sluggish, halfway return on your crops—half the grain you were used to getting, half the wine?

New International Version
15 “‘Now give careful thought(A) to this from this day on[a]—consider how things were before one stone was laid(B) on another in the Lord’s temple.(C) 16 When anyone came to a heap(D) of twenty measures, there were only ten. When anyone went to a wine vat(E) to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty.(F) 17 I struck all the work of your hands(G) with blight,(H) mildew and hail,(I) yet you did not return(J) to me,’ declares the Lord.(K)
