15 But now, do (a)(A)consider from this day (b)onward: before one (B)stone was placed on another in the temple of the Lord, 16 (c)from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty (d)measures, there would be only twenty. 17 I smote you and every work of your hands with (C)blasting wind, mildew and hail; (e)yet you did not come back to Me,’ declares the Lord. 18 ‘Do (f)(D)consider from this day (g)onward, from the (E)twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was (F)founded, (h)consider: 19 Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree, it has not borne fruit. Yet from this day on I will (G)bless you.’”
