The Command to Rebuild the Temple

1In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest:H8147H8141H1867H4428H8345H2320H259H3117H2320H1697H3068H3027H2292H5030H2216H1121H7597H6346H3063H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H559 2"Thus says the LORD of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD."H559H3068H6635H559H5971H559H6256H935H6256H3068H1004H1129 3Then the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet,H1697H3068H3027H2292H5030H559 4"Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?H6256H3427H5603H1004H1004H2720 5Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways.H559H3068H6635H7760H3824H1870 6You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.H2232H7235H935H4592H398H7654H8354H7937H3847H2527H7936H7936H6872H5344 7"Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways.H559H3068H6635H7760H3824H1870 8Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the LORD.H5927H2022H935H6086H1129H1004H7521H3513H559H3068 9You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.H6437H7235H4592H935H1004H5301H5002H3068H6635H3282H1004H2720H7323H376H1004 10Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce.H8064H3607H2919H776H3607H2981 11And I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on all their labors."H7121H2721H776H2022H1715H8492H3323H127H3318H120H929H3018H3709

The People Obey the Lord

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 the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him. And the people feared the LORD.H2216H1121H7597H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H7611H5971H8085H6963H3068H430H1697H2292H5030H3068H430H7971H5971H3372H6440H3068 13Then Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, spoke to the people with the LORD's message, "I am with you, declares the LORD."H559H2292H3068H4397H3068H4400H5971H559H5002H3068 14And the LORD 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 worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,H3068H5782H7307H2216H1121H7597H6346H3063H7307H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H7307H7611H5971H935H6213H4399H1004H3068H6635H430 15on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.H702H6242H3117H8345H2320H8147H8141H1867H4428
