Context of Haggai 2:15
13Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body shall touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean. 14Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean. And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD: 16Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the winepress to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty. 17I smote you with blighting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15And now, I pray you - Observe his tenderness, in drawing their attention to it, “Consider from this day and upward.” He bids them look backward, “from before a stone was laid upon a stone,” i. e., from the last moment of their neglect in building the house of God; “from since those days were,” or from the time backward “when those things were,” (resuming, in the word, “from-their-being”, the date which he had just given, namely, the beginning of their…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-19Verses 10-19 Many spoiled this good work, by going about it with unholy hearts and hands, and were likely to gain no advantage by it. The sum of these two rules of the law is, that sin is more easily learned from others than holiness. The impurity of their hearts and lives shall make the work of their hands, and all their offerings, unclean before God. The case is the same with us. When employed in any good work, we should watch over ourselves, lest we…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 15consider carefully (see study note on Haggai 1:5): God gives blessing, whether spiritual or material, when his people obey him (Deuteronomy 30:6–10). Haggai urged the people to continue examining their own actions. This careful self-examination leads to repentance (turning back to God).

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1515. consider--literally, "lay it to heart." Ponder earnestly, retracing the past "upward" (that is, backward), comparing what evils heretofore befell you before ye set about this work, with the present time when you have again commenced it, and when in consequence I now engage to "bless you."
