Basic HTML Version
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the
word of the L
ORD
by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,
and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2
Thus speaketh the L
ORD
of hosts, saying,
This people say, The time is not come, the time that the L
ORD
’S house should be built.
3
Then came
the word of the L
ORD
by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4
Is it
time for you, O ye, to dwell in your
cieled houses, and this house
lie
waste?
5
Now therefore thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts; Consider
your ways.
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.
7
Thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts; Consider your ways.
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 L
ORD
.
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 L
ORD
of hosts. Because of mine house that
is
waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
10
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed
from
her fruit.
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.
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 L
ORD
their God, and the words of Haggai the
prophet, as the L
ORD
their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the L
ORD
.
13
Then spake
Haggai the L
ORD
’S messenger in the L
ORD
’S message unto the people, saying, I
am
with you, saith
the L
ORD
.
14
And the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
of hosts, their God,
15
In the four and
twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
CHAPTER 2
In the seventh
month,
in the one and twentieth
day
of the month, came the word of the L
ORD
by the
prophet Haggai, saying,
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,
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?
4
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the L
ORD
; and be strong,
O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the L
ORD
,
and work: for
I am
with you, saith the L
ORD
of hosts:
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.
6
For thus
saith the L
ORD
of hosts; Yet once, it
is
a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth,
