HAG-1:1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth
month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD
by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,
governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high
priest, saying,
HAG-1:2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people
say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should
be built.
HAG-1:3 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,
saying,
HAG-1:4 [Is it] time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled
houses, and this house [lie] waste?
HAG-1:5 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider
your ways.
HAG-1:6 Ye 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.
HAG-1:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
HAG-1:8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the
house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,
saith the LORD.
HAG-1:9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, [it came] to little; and
when ye brought [it] home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the
LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that [is] waste, and ye run
every man unto his own house.
HAG-1:10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and
the earth is stayed [from] her fruit.
HAG-1:11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the
mountains, and upon the corn, 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 labour of the hands.
HAG-1:12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the
son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the
people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of
Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the
people did fear before the LORD.
HAG-1:13 Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S
message unto the people, saying, I [am] with you, saith the LORD.
HAG-1:14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua
the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the
remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house
of the LORD of hosts, their God,
HAG-1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in
the second year of Darius the king.
*HAG-2:1 In the seventh [month], in the one and twentieth [day]
of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai,
saying,
HAG-2:2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor
of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest,
and to the residue of the people, saying,
HAG-2:3 Who [is] left among you that saw this house in her
first glory? and how do ye see it now? [is it] not in your eyes
in comparison of it as nothing?
HAG-2:4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be
strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be
strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for
I [am] with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
HAG-2:5 [According to] the word that I covenanted with you when
ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye
not.
HAG-2:6 For thus saith the LORD 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];
HAG-2:7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all
nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith
the LORD of hosts.
HAG-2:8 The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the
LORD of hosts.
HAG-2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of
the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I
give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
HAG-2:10 In the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth [month],
in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by
Haggai the prophet, saying,
HAG-2:11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests
[concerning] the law, saying,
HAG-2:12 If 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 meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said,
No.
HAG-2:13 Then said Haggai, If [one that is] unclean by a dead
body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests
answered and said, It shall be unclean.
HAG-2:14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So [is] this people,
and so [is] this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so [is]
every work of their hands; and that which they offer there [is]
unclean.
HAG-2:15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward,
from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the
LORD:
HAG-2:16 Since those [days] were, when [one] came to an heap of
twenty [measures], there were [but] ten: when [one] came to the
pressfat for to draw out fifty [vessels] out of the press, there
were [but] twenty.
HAG-2:17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with
hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye [turned] not to me,
saith the LORD.
HAG-2:18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four
and twentieth day of the ninth [month, even] from the day that
the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider [it].
HAG-2:19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and
the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not
brought forth: from this day will I bless [you].
HAG-2:20 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the
four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
HAG-2:21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will
shake the heavens and the earth;
HAG-2:22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I
will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; 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.
HAG-2:23 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee,
O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD,
and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith
the LORD of hosts.
