¹⁰ A third message came to me from the Lord. It came on the 24th day of the ninth month of the second year that Darius was king. ¹¹ The Lord who rules over all speaks. He says, "Ask the priests what the law says. ¹² Suppose someone carries holy meat in the clothes he is wearing. And the clothes touch some bread or stew. Or they touch some wine, olive oil or other food. Then do those things also become holy?" The priests answered, "No." ¹³ So I said, "Suppose someone is made 'unclean' by touching a dead body. And then he touches one of those things. Does it become 'unclean' too?" "Yes," the priests replied. "It does." ¹⁴ Then I said, "The Lord announces, 'That is how I look at these people and this nation. Anything they do and anything they sacrifice on the altar is "unclean." ¹⁵ " 'Now think carefully about the time before one stone was laid on top of another in my temple. ¹⁶ People went to get 20 measures of grain. But they could find only 10. They went to where the wine was stored to get 50 measures. But only 20 were there. ¹⁷ You worked very hard to produce all of those things. But I struck them with rot, mold and hail. And you still did not turn to me,' announces the Lord. ¹⁸ " 'It is the 24th day of the ninth month. From this day on, think carefully about the day when the foundation of my temple was laid. Think about it carefully. ¹⁹ Are any seeds still left in your barns? Until now, your vines and fig trees have not produced any fruit. Your pomegranate and olive trees have not produced any either. " 'But from this day on I will bless you.' " ²⁰ A final message came to me from the Lord. It also came on the 24th day of the ninth month. He said, ²¹ "Speak to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah. Tell him I will shake the heavens and the earth. ²² I will throw down royal thrones. I will smash the power of other kingdoms. I will destroy chariots and their drivers. Horses and their riders will fall. They will be killed with the swords of their relatives. ²³ " 'Zerubbabel, at that time I will pick you,' announces the Lord. 'You are my servant,' announces the Lord. 'You will be like a ring that has my royal seal on it. I have chosen you,' announces the Lord who rules over all."
