SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:18
Pues, poned ahora, vuestro corazón desde este día en adelante, desde el día veinticuatro del noveno mes, que es desde el día que se echó el cimiento al Templo del SEÑOR; poned vuestro corazón.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Haggai 2:18
Verse 18. Consider now from this day] I will now change my conduct towards you: from, this day that ye have begun heartily to rebuild my temple, and restore my worship, I will bless you. Whatever you sow, whatever you plant, shall be blessed; your land shall be fruitful, and ye shall have abundant crops of all sorts.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Consider now from this day and upward , etc.] Or forward; for time to come, as the Vulgate Latin version: from the four and twentieth day of the ninth [month] ; before observed, ( Haggai 2:10,15): even from the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider [it] ; not from the time it was first laid after their return upon the proclamation of Cyrus, but from the time they began to clear that foundation, and to build upon it; and which having lain so long neglected, the renewal of it is represented as a fresh laying of it: now the prophet, as he had directed them to consider what adversity and calamities had attended them from the time of their neglect unto this time; so he would have them particularly observe what blessings they would enjoy from henceforward; by which it would appear how pleasing it was to the Lord that they had begun and were going on with the building.
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.
