15 ‘And now, carefully aconsider from this day forward: from before stone was laid upon stone in the temple of the Lord—  
16 since those days, awhen one came to a heap of twenty ephahs, there were but ten; when one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty baths from the press, there were but twenty.  
17 aI struck you with blight and mildew and hail bin all the labors of your hands; cyet you did not turn to Me,’ says the Lord.  
18 ‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from athe day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid—consider it:  
19 aIs the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bbless you.’ ”

Haggai 2:14

So - Polluted persons, touching what is clean, pollute it, so polluted Jews, polluted God's ordinances, while the outward performing of legal duties, left them as unholy in themselves, as they were before: somewhat more then is to be done. The soul is first to be purified, that they and we may offer up a pure offering. The people - The body of the Jews. Every work - Whatever they do, they pollute all by polluted hands. Offer - What they bring to the altar with impure hearts, is polluted by them.
