* UncleanlinessIsNextToUngodliness: In Haggai 2:10-14, God has Haggai tests the priests with two questions. The first is, "If a man carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and touches with his fold bread or stew, or wine or oil, or any food, will it become holy?" The priests answer, "No." The second question is, "If one who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, will it become unclean?" The priests answer, "It is unclean." Then Haggai says, "So it is with this people, and so it is with this nation before Me, says the Lord, and so with every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean."

* {{Curse}}: The final verse, speaking of God's promise to make Zerubbabel like a signet ring, can be read as a reversal of the curse God placed on the Davidic line at the time of King Jeconiah, where in the Literature/BookOfJeremiah he would be spoken of as being "childless", having no one who will come from him that will sit on the throne of David.
