Now therefore reflect carefully on the recent past, before one stone was laid on another in the LORD’s temple.

“现在你们要追想，此日以前，耶和华的殿没有一块石头垒在石头上的光景。

“现在，你们心里要想一想，从今日起，耶和华的殿还没有一块石头放在石头上的情况。

“现在，你们心里要想一想，从今日起，耶和华的殿还没有一块石头放在石头上的情况。

“‘从今以后，你们要回想重建耶和华殿之前的光景。

“现在你们要反省，从今日起回想过往，就是在耶和华的殿还没有一块石头叠在另一块石头上面以前，

現在你們要追想，此日以前，耶和華的殿沒有一塊石頭壘在石頭上的光景。

「現在，你們心裏要想一想，從今日起，耶和華的殿還沒有一塊石頭放在石頭上的情況。

「現在，你們心裏要想一想，從今日起，耶和華的殿還沒有一塊石頭放在石頭上的情況。

「『從今以後，你們要回想重建耶和華殿之前的光景。

“現在你們要反省，從今日起回想過往，就是在耶和華的殿還沒有一塊石頭疊在另一塊石頭上面以前，

現在你們要用心想想：從今日起必怎樣不同。在永恆主殿堂還沒有一塊石頭壘在石頭上以前，

請爾追思、此日以前、耶和華之殿、未疊石於石上之先、

是日之前、人未叠石諸石上、以建我殿、所有之事、爾當憶念、

爾曹當思念、此日以前、主殿之基未立之時、情景若何、

“‘ 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.

“‘ Think carefully about this from now on. Think about how things were before the Lord’ s temple was built. This was before one stone was laid on top of another.

Now then, consider from this day onward. Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord,

Look at what was happening to you before you began to lay the foundation of the Lord’s Temple.

“ Now from this day on, think carefully: Before one stone was placed on another in the LORD’s temple,

But now, do consider from this day onward: before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the Lord,

‘ And now, carefully consider from this day forward: from before stone was laid upon stone in the temple of the Lord—

And now, I pray you, consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of Jehovah.

“ Now, reflect back from this day: Before one stone was placed on another in the Lord’s temple,

And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:

Now, please consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid on a stone in Yahweh’s temple.

Here then is what the LORD who rules over all says:‘ Think carefully about what you are doing.

So the work on the temple of God in Jerusalem came to a halt. It remained halted until the second year of the reign of King Darius of Persia.

When the builders established the LORD’s temple, the priests, ceremonially attired and with their clarions, and the Levites( the sons of Asaph) with their cymbals, stood to praise the LORD according to the instructions left by King David of Israel.

“ Moreover, the LORD who rules over all says:‘ Pay close attention to these things also.

‘ Think carefully about the past: from today, the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, to the day work on the temple of the LORD was resumed, think about it.

Who is wise? Let him discern these things! Who is discerning? Let him understand them! For the ways of the LORD are right; the godly walk in them, but in them the rebellious stumble.

They have stringed instruments, tambourines, flutes, and wine at their parties. So they do not recognize what the LORD is doing, they do not perceive what he is bringing about.

Can a person rob God? You indeed are robbing me, but you say,‘ How are we robbing you?’ In tithes and contributions!You are bound for judgment because you are robbing me– this whole nation is guilty.“ Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse so that there may be food in my temple. Test me in this matter,” says the LORD who rules over all,“ to see if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until there is no room for it all.Then I will stop the plague from ruining your crops, and the vine will not lose its fruit before harvest,” says the LORD who rules over all.

But if we examined ourselves, we would not be judged.

Whoever is wise, let him take note of these things! Let them consider the LORD’s acts of loyal love!

So what benefit did you then reap from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.
