Hageo 2:17 Meaning and Commentary

Haggai 2:17

I smote you with blasting
That is, their fields and vineyards, with burning winds, which consumed them; with blights by east winds: this shows the reason of their disappointment, and that it was from the Lord, and for their sins, by way of chastisement and correction: and with mildew;
a kind of clammy dew, which corrupts and destroys the fruits of the earth; and is a kind of jaundice to them, as the word signifies; see ( Amos 4:9 ) : and with hail;
which battered down the corn and the vines, and broke them to pieces; see ( Exodus 9:25 ) : in all the labours of your hands;
in the corn they sowed, and in the vines they planted: yet ye [turned] not to me, saith the Lord;
did not consider their evil ways as the cause of all this; nor repent of them, and turn from them to the Lord; to his worship, as the Targum; or to the building of his house, the thing chiefly complained of. Afflictions, unless sanctified, have no effect upon men to turn them from their sins to the Lord.

Hageo 2:17 In-Context

15 »Ahora bien, desde hoy en adelante, reflexionen. Antes de que ustedes pusieran piedra sobre piedra en la casa del SEÑOR,
16 ¿cómo les iba? Cuando alguien se acercaba a un montón de grano esperando encontrar veinte medidas, solo hallaba diez; y si se iba al lagar esperando sacar cincuenta medidas de la artesa del mosto, solo sacaba veinte.
17 Herí sus campos con quemazón y con plaga, y con granizo toda obra de sus manos. Pero ustedes no se volvieron a mí —afirma el SEÑOR—.
18 Reflexionen desde hoy en adelante, desde el día veinticuatro del mes noveno, día en que se colocaron los cimientos de la casa del SEÑOR. Reflexionen:
19 ¿Queda todavía alguna semilla en el granero? ¿Todavía no producen nada la vid ni la higuera, ni el granado ni el olivo? ¡Pues a partir de hoy yo los bendeciré!»
