Since those days; all that while the temple lay neglected, and you were contented with maimed and half worship, men were disappointed half in half.
When one came to a heap, which he expected would prove twenty measures, ephahs, or bushels, or what other measure you please,
there were but ten; it proved but half your hopes; thus your corn failed: but your oil much more failed, and you found but two where you expected five: this barrenness you cannot be ignorant of.
