Haggai 2:14

Context

2:14 Then Haggai responded, “‘The people of this nation are unclean in my sight,’ 1  says the Lord. ‘And so is all their effort; everything they offer is also unclean. 2 

1 tn Heb “so this people, and so this nation before me.” In this context “people” and “nation” refer to the same set of individuals; the repetition is emphatic. Cf. CEV “this entire nation.”

2 sn The point here is that the Jews cannot be made holy by unholy fellowship with their pagan neighbors; instead, they and their worship will become corrupted by such associations.
