John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. Thus saith the Lord of hosts , etc.] To Haggai the prophet: ask now the priests [concerning] the law ; whose business it was to understand it, and teach it, and to answer questions, and resolve doubts concerning it; not of their own heads, and according to their fancies, will, and pleasure; but according to the rules and instructions given in the word of God: and as this was their office, they were the proper persons to apply to; and Haggai, though a prophet, is sent to the priests to propose questions to them; though it may be not so much for his own information, as for the conviction of the priests of their impurity, out of their own mouths, and of the people by them: saying ; putting the following questions to them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-19 - Many spoiled this good work, by going about it with unholy hearts an hands, and were likely to gain no advantage by it. The sum of these tw rules of the law is, that sin is more easily learned from others tha 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 ove ourselves, lest we render it unclean by our corruptions. When we begi to make conscience of duty to God, we may expect his blessing; an whoso is wise will understand the loving-kindness of the Lord. God wil curse the blessings of the wicked, and make bitter the prosperity of the careless; but he will sweeten the cup of affliction to those wh diligently serve him.
