Context of Haggai 2:19

17I infested all your work with blight and mildew and struck it with hail. But you didn’t come back to me, declares the Lord. 18Carefully consider from now on, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day when the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.

But from now on I will bless you.” 20The Lord spoke his word to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month.

The sum of these two rules of the law is, that sin is more easily learned from others than holiness.

So also the vine…Read the comment
