HAG 01:01  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 01:02  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 01:03  Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,

 saying,




       HAG 01:04  [Is it] time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled

houses, and this house [lie] waste?




       HAG 01:05  Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider

your ways.




       HAG 01:06  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 01:07  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.




       HAG 01:08  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 01:09  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 01:10  Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew,

and the earth is stayed [from] her fruit.




       HAG 01:11  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 01:12  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 01:13  Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S

message unto the people, saying, I [am] with you, saith the LORD.




       HAG 01:14  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 01:15  In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in

the second year of Darius the king.




       HAG 02:01  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 02:02  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 02:03  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 02:04  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 02:05  [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 02:06  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 02:07  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 02:08  The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith

the LORD of hosts.




       HAG 02:09  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 02:10  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 02:11  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests

[concerning] the law, saying,




       HAG 02:12  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 02:13  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 02:14  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 02:15  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 02:16  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 02:17  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 02:18  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 02:19  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 02:20  And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in

the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,




       HAG 02:21  Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I

will shake the heavens and the earth;




       HAG 02:22  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 02:23  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.
