Haggai 2:10-14

10On December 18 of the second year of King Darius’s reign, the Lord sent this message to the prophet Haggai:

11“This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says. Ask the priests this question about the law:

12‘If one of you is carrying some meat from a holy sacrifice in his robes and his robe happens to brush against some bread or stew, wine or olive oil, or any other kind of food, will it also become holy?’” The priests replied, “No.”

13Then Haggai asked, “If someone becomes ceremonially unclean by touching a dead person and then touches any of these foods, will the food be defiled?” And the priests answered, “Yes.”

14Then Haggai responded, “That is how it is with this people and this nation, says the Lord. Everything they do and everything they offer is defiled by their sin.
