Structure and formatting
Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers, or songs. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 2:3-9, 21-23, which is the poetic part of the quotation.

Unclean
Haggai uses an extended metaphor in this chapter related to ritual cleanliness. While the Jews were not unclean by nature as the Gentiles were, their actions made them unclean. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/clean and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/unclean)
