1In 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,H8147H8141H1867H4428H8345H2320H259H3117H2320H1697H3068H3027H2292H5030H2216H1121H7597H6346H3063H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H559

2Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built.H559H3068H6635H559H5971H559H6256H935H6256H3068H1004H1129

3Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,H1697H3068H3027H2292H5030H559

4Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?H6256H3427H5603H1004H1004H2720

5Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.H559H3068H6635H7760H3824H1870

6Ye 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.H2232H7235H935H4592H398H7654H8354H7937H3847H2527H7936H7936H6872H5344

7Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.H559H3068H6635H7760H3824H1870

8Go 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.H5927H2022H935H6086H1129H1004H7521H3513H559H3068

9Ye 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.H6437H7235H4592H935H1004H5301H5002H3068H6635H3282H1004H2720H7323H376H1004

10Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.H8064H3607H2919H776H3607H2981

11And 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.H7121H2721H776H2022H1715H8492H3323H127H3318H120H929H3018H3709

12Then 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.H2216H1121H7597H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H7611H5971H8085H6963H3068H430H1697H2292H5030H3068H430H7971H5971H3372H6440H3068

13Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith 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 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,H3068H5782H7307H2216H1121H7597H6346H3063H7307H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H7307H7611H5971H935H6213H4399H1004H3068H6635H430

15In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.H702H6242H3117H8345H2320H8147H8141H1867H4428
