Haggai 2:14 in Context — Haggai 2

12 Si quelqu’un porte dans le pan de son vêtement de la chair consacrée, et qu’il touche avec son vêtement du pain, des mets, du vin, de l’huile, ou un aliment quelconque, ces choses seront-elles sanctifiées? Les sacrificateurs répondirent: Non!

13 Et Aggée dit: Si quelqu’un souillé par le contact d’un cadavre touche toutes ces choses, seront-elles souillées? Les sacrificateurs répondirent: Elles seront souillées.

14 Alors Aggée, reprenant la parole, dit: Tel est ce peuple, telle est cette nation devant moi, dit l’Éternel, Telles sont toutes les œuvres de leurs mains; Ce qu’ils m’offrent là est souillé.

15 Considérez donc attentivement Ce qui s’est passé jusqu’à ce jour, Avant qu’on eût mis pierre sur pierre au temple de l’Éternel!

16 Alors, quand on venait à un tas de vingt mesures, Il n’y en avait que dix; Quand on venait à la cuve pour puiser cinquante mesures, Il n’y en avait que vingt.
