Call to Rebuild the Temple
1On the first day of the sixth month of the second year of the reign of King Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet to Shealtiel's son Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, and to Jehozadak's son Joshua, the high priest.H81472"This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: 'These people keep saying, "No, the right time for rebuilding the LORD's temple has not yet come."'"H559H3068H6635H559H5971H559H6256H935H6256H3068H1004H1129
3Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet:H1697H3068H3027H2292H5030H559
4"Is it the right time for all of you to live in your own paneled houses while this house remains in ruins?H6256H3427H5603H1004H1004H2720 H3068H6635H7760H3824H1870
Consequences of Not Rebuilding
5"Now this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, says: 'Carefully consider your ways:H5596You have sowed much but have reaped little. You have eaten but don't have enough to become satisfied. You have drunk but don't have enough to become intoxicated. You have clothed yourself but don't have enough to keep warm. And the hired laborer deposits his salary in a bag full of holes!'"H2232H7235H935H4592H398H7654H8354H7937H3847H2527H7936H7936H6872H5344 H3068H6635H7760H3824H1870
Command to Rebuild the Temple
7"This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: 'Carefully consider your ways:H5598Go up into the mountains, bring timber, and reconstruct my house. Then I will be pleased with it and I will be honored,' says the Lord.H5927H2022H935H6086H1129H1004H7521H3513H559H3068
9'You turned away in pursuit of abundance, but look at how little you found! What you did manage to bring home, I blew away! And why? declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies. 'It's because of my house! It lies in ruins while each of you runs off to his own house!H6437H7235H4592H935H1004H5301H5002H3068H6635H3282H1004H2720H7323H376H1004
10That is why the heavens keep withholding dew from you, and the earth withholds her fruit.H8064H3607H2919H776H3607H2981
11I sent a drought on the land, on the mountains, on your grain, on your new wines, on your oil - on everything the ground produces - on men, on livestock, and on everything you do!'"1H7121H2721H776H2022H1715H8492H3323H127H3318H120H929H3018H3709 H1121H7597H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H7611H5971H8085H6963H3068H430H1697H2292H5030H3068H430H7971H5971H3372H6440H3068
The People Obey
12Then Shealtiel's son Zerubbabel, Jehozadak's son Joshua the high priest, and all the rest of the people obeyed the Lord their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord.H221613Haggai, the messenger of the Lord, spoke to the people with a special commission from the Lord: "'I am with you,' declares the Lord."1H559H2292H3068H4397H3068H4400H5971H559H5002H3068
New Testament
14Then the Lord revitalized the spirit of Shealtiel's son Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, the spirit of Jehozadak's son Joshua the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people, so they came and began to work on the house of their God, the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.H3068H5782H7307H2216H1121H7597H6346H3063H7307H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H7307H7611H5971H935H6213H4399H1004H3068H6635H430
15This took place on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month of the second year of the reign of King Darius.H702H6242H3117H8345H2320H8147H8141H1867H4428
