11 This is what the LORD of heavenly forces says: Go ahead and ask the priests for a ruling:

12 "If someone lifts holy meat into the hem of one's garment and that hem touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any kind of food, will it be made holy?" And the priests responded, "No."
12
If someone carries consecrated meat in the fold of their garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine, olive oil or other food, does it become consecrated?’ ” The priests answered, “No.”
13 Haggai said, "If an unclean person touches any of these things, will it become unclean?" And the priests responded, "It will be unclean."
13

14 Then Haggai responded: Thus has this people and this nation become to me, says the LORD, and everything that they do with their hands. Whatever they offer is unclean.
14
Then Haggai said, “ ‘So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,’ declares the LORD. ‘Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled.

15
“ ‘Now give careful thought to this from this day on —consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in the LORD’s temple.
