[2:15] The Lord says, “Can't you see what has happened to you? Before you started to rebuild the Temple,
[2:16] you would go to a pile of grain expecting to find twenty bushels, but there would be only ten. You would go to draw fifty gallons of wine from a vat, but find only twenty.
[2:17] I sent scorching winds and hail to ruin everything you tried to grow, but still you did not repent.
[2:18] Today is the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, the day that the foundation of the Temple has been completed. See what is going to happen from now on.
[2:19] Although there is no grain left, and the grapevines, fig trees, pomegranates, and olive trees have not yet produced, yet from now on I will bless you.”
