Haggai 2:10-14

10On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month of Darius’ second year, the Lord spoke again to the prophet Haggai:

11“The Lord who rules over all says, ‘Ask the priests about the law.

12If someone carries holy meat in a fold of his garment and that fold touches bread, a boiled dish, wine, olive oil, or any other food, will that item become holy?’” The priests answered, “It will not.”

13Then Haggai asked, “If a person who is ritually unclean because of touching a dead body comes in contact with one of these items, will it become unclean?” The priests answered, “It will be unclean.”

14Then Haggai responded, “‘The people of this nation are unclean in my sight,’ says the Lord. ‘And so is all their effort; everything they offer is also unclean.
