1:1In the
second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of
the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel
the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of
Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, 1:2Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts,
saying, This people say, It is not the time for us to come, the
time for Jehovah's house to be built. 1:3Then came the word of Jehovah by
Haggai the prophet, saying, 1:4Is it a time for you yourselves to
dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste? 1:5Now therefore
thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways. 1:6Ye have sown
much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but
ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and
he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with
holes. 1:7Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider
your ways. 1:8Go up to the mountain, and bring wood,
and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be
glorified, saith Jehovah. 1:9Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came
to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith
Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every
man to his own house. 1:10Therefore for your sake the heavens
withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit. 1:11And I called
for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain,
and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground
bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of
the hands. 1:12Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,
and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of
the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai
the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him; and the people did fear
before Jehovah. 1:13Then spake Haggai Jehovah's messenger
in Jehovah's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith
Jehovah. 1:14And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of
Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the
remnant of the people; and they came and did work on the house of Jehovah
of hosts, their God, 1:15in the four and twentieth day of the
month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
2:1In the
seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month,
came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying, 2:2Speak now to
Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son
of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
2:3Who is
left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see
it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing? 2:4Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith
Jehovah; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and
be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am
with you, saith Jehovah of hosts, 2:5according to the word that I
covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit abode among
you: fear ye not. 2:6For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet
once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth,
and the sea, and the dry land; 2:7and I will shake all nations; and the
precious things of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with
glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. 2:8The silver is mine, and the gold is
mine, saith Jehovah of hosts. 2:9The latter glory of this house shall
be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will
I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts. 2:10In the four and twentieth day
of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of
Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying, 2:11Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ask now
the priests concerning the law, saying, 2:12If one bear holy flesh in the skirt
of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or
oil, or any food, shall it become holy? And the priests answered and said,
No. 2:13Then
said Haggai, If one that is unclean by reason of a dead body touch any of
these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be
unclean. 2:14Then answered Haggai and said, So is
this people, and so is this nation before me, saith Jehovah; and so is
every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
2:15And now,
I pray you, consider from this day and backward, before a stone was laid
upon a stone in the temple of Jehovah. 2:16Through all that time, when one came
to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to
the winevat to draw out fifty vessels, there were but twenty. 2:17I smote you
with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands;
yet ye turned not to me, saith Jehovah. 2:18Consider, I pray you, from this day
and backward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month,
since the day that the foundation of Jehovah's temple was laid, consider
it. 2:19Is
the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig-tree, and the
pomegranate, and the olive-tree have not brought forth; from this day will
I bless you. 2:20And the word of Jehovah came the
second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month,
saying, 2:21Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of
Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; 2:22and I will
overthrow the throne of kingdoms; and I will destroy the strength of the
kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that
ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one
by the sword of his brother. 2:23In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts,
will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith
Jehovah, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith
Jehovah of hosts.
