1:1 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,
1:2 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.
1:3 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,
saying,
1:4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled
houses,
and this
house lie waste?
1:5 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your
ways.
1:6 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.
1:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
1:8 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
LORD.
1:9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and
when
ye brought
it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the
LORD
of hosts. Because of
mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his
own
house.
1:10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the
earth is
stayed from her fruit.
1:11 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.
1:12 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.
1:13 Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message
unto the
people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
1:14 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,
1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the
second year of
Darius the king.

2:1 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day
of
the month,
came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
2:2 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,
2:3 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?
2:4 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:
2:5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when
ye
came out of
Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye
not.
2:6 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;
2:7 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.
2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,
saith the LORD
of hosts.
2:9 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.
2:10 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,
2:11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning
the law,
saying,
2:12 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.
2:13 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.
2:14 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.
2:15 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:
2:16 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.
2:17 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.
2:18 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.
2:19 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.
2:20 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four
and
twentieth day of the month, saying,
2:21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake
the
heavens and the earth;
2:22 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.
2:23 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.
