priest <3548 kohen > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 02 Thus <3541 koh > speaketh <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

This <2088 zeh > people <5971 <am > say <0559 >amar > , The

time <6256 <eth > is not come <0935 bow> > , the time <6256

<eth > that the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > house <1004 bayith >

should be built <1129 banah > .

: 03 Then came <1961 hayah > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > by Haggai <2292 Chaggay > the prophet <5030

nabiy> > , saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 04 [ Is it ] time <6256 <eth > for you , O ye , to dwell

<3427 yashab > in your cieled <5603 caphan > houses <1004 bayith

> , and this <2088 zeh > house <1004 bayith > [ lie ] waste

<2720 chareb > ?

: 05 Now <6258 <attah > therefore thus <3541 koh > saith <0559

>amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ;

Consider your ways <1870 derek > .

: 06 Ye have sown <2232 zara< > much <7235 rabah > , and bring

<0935 bow> > in little <4592 m@<at > ; ye eat <0398 >akal > ,

but ye have not enough <7654 sob<ah > ; ye drink <8354 shathah

> , but ye are not filled with drink <7937 shakar > ; ye

clothe <3847 labash > you , but there is none <0369 >ayin >

warm <2527 chom > ; and he that earneth <7936 sakar > wages

<7936 sakar > earneth <7936 sakar > wages <7936 sakar > [ to

put it ] into <0413 >el > a bag <6872 ts@rowr > with holes

<5344 naqab > .

: 07 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; Consider your <5315 nephesh

> ways <1870 derek > .

: 08 Go <5927 <alah > up to the mountain <2022 har > , and

bring <0935 bow> > wood <6086 <ets > , and build <1129 banah >

the house <1004 bayith > ; and I will take pleasure <7521

ratsah > in it , and I will be glorified <3513 kabad > , saith

<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 09 Ye looked <6437 panah > for much <7235 rabah > , and ,

lo <2009 hinneh > , [ it came ] to little <4592 m@<at > ;

and when ye brought <0935 bow> > [ it ] home <1004 bayith > ,

I did blow <5301 naphach > upon it . Why ? saith <5002 n@>um >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > . Because

<3282 ya<an > of mine house <1004 bayith > that [ is ] waste

<2720 chareb > , and ye run <7323 ruwts > every man <0376 >iysh

> unto his own house <1004 bayith > .

: 10 Therefore the heaven <8064 shamayim > over <5921 <al > you

is stayed <3607 kala> > from dew <2919 tal > , and the earth

<0776 >erets > is stayed <3607 kala> > [ from ] her fruit

<2981 y@buwl > .

: 11 And I called <7121 qara> > for a drought <2721 choreb >

upon the land <0776 >erets > , and upon the mountains <2022 har

> , and upon the corn <1715 dagan > , and upon the new <8492

tiyrowsh > wine <8492 tiyrowsh > , and upon the oil <3323

yitshar > , and upon [ that ] which <0834 >aher > the ground

<0127 >adamah > bringeth <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,

and upon men <0120 >adam > , and upon cattle <0929 b@hemah > ,

and upon all <3605 kol > the labour <3018 y@giya< > of the hands

<3709 kaph > .

: 12 . Then Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel > the son <1121 ben >

of Shealtiel <7597 Sh@>altiy>el > , and Joshua <3091

Y@howshuwa< > the son <1121 ben > of Josedech <3087 Y@howtsadaq

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > their God <0430 >elohiym > , and the words

<1697 dabar > of Haggai <2292 Chaggay > the prophet <5030 nabiy>

sent <7971 shalach > him , and the people <5971 <am > did fear

<3372 yare> > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

<3068 Y@hovah > messenger <4397 mal>ak > in the LORD S <3068

Y@hovah > message <4400 mal>akuwth > unto the people <5971 <am >

, saying <0559 >amar > , I [ am ] with you , saith <5002

n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 11 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ; Ask <7592 sha>al > now

<4994 na> > the priests <3548 kohen > [ concerning ] the law

the priests <3548 kohen > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559

said <0559 >amar > , So <3651 ken > [ is ] this <2088 zeh >

people <5971 <am > , and so <3651 ken > [ is ] this <2088 zeh

<8033 sham > [ is ] unclean <2931 tame> > .

: 15 And now <4994 na> > , I pray <4994 na> > you , consider

from this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > and upward <4605 ma<al > ,

from before <2962 terem > a stone <68> was laid <7760 suwm >

upon a stone <68> in the temple <1964 heykal > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > :

: 16 Since those [ days ] were , when [ one ] came <0935

bow> > to an heap <6194 <arem > of twenty <6242 <esriym > [

measures ] , there were [ but ] ten <6235 <eser > : when [

one ] came <0935 bow> > to the pressfat <3342 yeqeb > for to

draw <2834 chasaph > out fifty <2572 chamishshiym > [ vessels ]

out of the press <6333 puwrah > , there were [ but ] twenty

<6242 <esriym > .

: 17 I smote <5221 nakah > you with blasting <7711 sh@dephah >

and with mildew <3420 yeraqown > and with hail <1259 barad > in

all <3605 kol > the labours <4639 ma<aseh > of your hands <3027

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

yowm > and upward <4605 ma<al > , from the four <0702 >arba< >

and twentieth <6242 <esriym > day <3117 yowm > of the ninth

<8671 t@shiy<iy > [ month , even ] from the day <3117 yowm >

that the foundation <3245 yacad > of the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah >

temple <1964 heykal > was laid , consider [ it ] .

: 19 Is the seed <2233 zera< > yet <5750 <owd > in the barn

<4035 m@guwrah > ? yea , as yet <5704 <ad > the vine <1612

gephen > , and the fig <8384 t@>en > tree , and the

pomegranate <7416 rimmown > , and the olive <2132 zayith > tree

barak > [ you ] .

: 20 . And again <8145 sheniy > the word <1697 dabar > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > unto Haggai <2292

Chaggay > in the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym

governor <6346 pechah > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , saying

<0559 >amar > , I will shake <7493 ra<ash > the heavens <8064

shamayim > and the earth <0776 >erets > ;

: 22 And I will overthrow <2015 haphak > the throne <3678

kicce> > of kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > , and I will destroy

<8045 shamad > the strength <2392 chozeq > of the kingdoms <4467

mamlakah > of the heathen <1471 gowy > ; and I will overthrow

<2015 haphak > the chariots <4818 merkabah > , and those that

ride <7392 rakab > in them ; and the horses <5483 cuwc > and

their riders <7392 rakab > shall come <3381 yarad > down <3381

yarad > , every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > by the sword

<2719 chereb > of his brother <0251 >ach > .

: 23 In that day <3117 yowm > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , will I take <3947

laqach > thee , O Zerubbabel <2216 Z@rubbabel > , my servant
