Haggai 1

1. In the second <8147> year <8141> of Darius <1867> the king

<4428>, in the sixth <8345> month <2320>, in the first <0259>

day <3117> of the month <2320>, came <1961> the word <1697> of

the LORD <3068> by Haggai <2292> the prophet <5030> unto

Zerubbabel <2216> the son <1121> of Shealtiel <7597>, governor

<6346> of Judah <3063>, and to Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of

Josedech <3087>, the high <1419> priest <3548>, saying <0559>,

2 Thus <3541> speaketh <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>,

saying <0559>, This <2088> people <5971> say <0559>, The time

<6256> is not come <0935>, the time <6256> that the LORD'S

<3068> house <1004> should be built <1129>.

3 Then came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> by Haggai

<2292> the prophet <5030>, saying <0559>,

4 [Is it] time <6256> for you, O ye, to dwell <3427> in your

cieled <5603> houses <1004>, and this <2088> house <1004> [lie]

waste <2720>?

5 Now <6258> therefore thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>

of hosts <6635>; Consider your ways <1870>.

6 Ye have sown <2232> much <7235>, and bring <0935> in little

<4592>; ye eat <0398>, but ye have not enough <7654>; ye drink

<8354>, but ye are not filled with drink <7937>; ye clothe

<3847> you, but there is none <0369> warm <2527>; and he that

earneth <7936> wages <7936> earneth <7936> wages <7936> [to put

it] into <0413> a bag <6872> with holes <5344>.

7 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

Consider your <5315> ways <1870>.

8 Go <5927> up to the mountain <2022>, and bring <0935> wood

<6086>, and build <1129> the house <1004>; and I will take

pleasure <7521> in it, and I will be glorified <3513>, saith

<0559> the LORD <3068>.

9 Ye looked <6437> for much <7235>, and, lo <2009>, [it came]

to little <4592>; and when ye brought <0935> [it] home <1004>, I

did blow <5301> upon it. Why? saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635>. Because <3282> of mine house <1004> that [is]

waste <2720>, and ye run <7323> every man <0376> unto his own

house <1004>.

10 Therefore the heaven <8064> over <5921> you is stayed <3607>

from dew <2919>, and the earth <0776> is stayed <3607> [from]

her fruit <2981>.

11 And I called <7121> for a drought <2721> upon the land

<0776>, and upon the mountains <2022>, and upon the corn <1715>,

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

and upon [that] which <0834> the ground <0127> bringeth <3318>

forth <3318>, and upon men <0120>, and upon cattle <0929>, and

upon all <3605> the labour <3018> of the hands <3709>.

12. Then Zerubbabel <2216> the son <1121> of Shealtiel <7597>,

and Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Josedech <3087>, the high

<1419> priest <3548>, with all <3605> the remnant <7611> of the

people <5971>, obeyed <8085> the voice <6963> of the LORD <3068>

their God <0430>, and the words <1697> of Haggai <2292> the

prophet <5030>, as the LORD <3068> their God <0430> had sent

<7971> him, and the people <5971> did fear <3372> before <6440>

the LORD <3068>.

13 Then spake <0559> Haggai <2292> the LORD'S <3068> messenger

<4397> in the LORD'S <3068> message <4400> unto the people

<5971>, saying <0559>, I [am] with you, saith <5002> the LORD

<3068>.

14 And the LORD <3068> stirred <5782> up the spirit <7307> of

Zerubbabel <2216> the son <1121> of Shealtiel <7597>, governor

<6346> of Judah <3063>, and the spirit <7307> of Joshua <3091>

the son <1121> of Josedech <3087>, the high <1419> priest <3548>,

and the spirit <7307> of all <3605> the remnant <7611> of the

people <5971>; and they came <0935> and did <6213> work <4399>

in the house <1004> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, their

God <0430>,

15 In the four <0702> and twentieth <6242> day <3117> of the

sixth <8345> month <2320>, in the second <8147> year <8141> of

Darius <1867> the king <4428>.

Haggai 2

1. In the seventh <7637> [month], in the one <0259> and

twentieth <6242> [day] of the month <2320>, came <1961> the word

<1697> of the LORD <3068> by the prophet <5030> Haggai <2292>,

saying <0559>,

2 Speak <0559> now <4994> to Zerubbabel <2216> the son <1121>

of Shealtiel <7597>, governor <6346> of Judah <3063>, and to

Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Josedech <3087>, the high <1419>

priest <3548>, and to the residue <7611> of the people <5971>,

saying <0559>,

3 Who <4310> [is] left <7604> among you that saw <7200> this

<2088> house <1004> in her first <7223> glory <3519>? and how

<4100> do ye see <7200> it now <6258>? [is it] not in your eyes

<5869> in comparison <3644> of it as nothing <0369>?

4 Yet now <6258> be strong <2388>, O Zerubbabel <2216>, saith

<5002> the LORD <3068>; and be strong <2388>, O Joshua <3091>,

son <1121> of Josedech <3087>, the high <1419> priest <3548>;

and be strong <2388>, all <3605> ye people <5971> of the land

<0776>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>, and work <6213>: for I

[am] with you, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>:

5 [According to] the word <1697> that I covenanted <3772> with

you when ye came <3318> out of Egypt <4714>, so my spirit <7307>

remaineth <5975> among <8432> you: fear <3372> ye not.

6 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

Yet <5750> once <0259>, it [is] a little <4592> while, and I

will shake <7493> the heavens <8064>, and the earth <0776>, and

the sea <3220>, and the dry <2724> [land];

7 And I will shake <7493> all <3605> nations <1471>, and the

desire <2532> of all <3605> nations <1471> shall come <0935>:

and I will fill <4390> this <2088> house <1004> with glory

<3519>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

8 The silver <3701> [is] mine, and the gold <2091> [is] mine,

saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.

9 The glory <3519> of this <2088> latter <0314> house <1004>

shall be greater <1419> than of the former <7223>, saith <5002>

the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>: and in this <2088> place <4725>

will I give <5414> peace <7965>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of

hosts <6635>.

10. In the four <0702> and twentieth <6242> [day] of the ninth

<8671> [month], in the second <8147> year <8141> of Darius

<1867>, came <1961> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> by Haggai

<2292> the prophet <5030>, saying <0559>,

11 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>;

Ask <7592> now <4994> the priests <3548> [concerning] the law

<8451>, saying <0559>,

12 If <2005> one bear <5375> holy <6944> flesh <1320> in the

skirt <3671> of his garment <0899>, and with his skirt <3671> do

touch <5060> bread <3899>, or pottage <5138>, or wine <3196>, or

oil <8081>, or any <3605> meat <3978>, shall it be holy <6942>?

And the priests <3548> answered <6030> and said <0559>, No

<3808>.

13 Then said <0559> Haggai <2292>, If <0518> [one that is]

unclean <2931> by a dead body <5315> touch <5060> any <3605> of

these <0428>, shall it be unclean <2930>? And the priests <3548>

answered <6030> and said <0559>, It shall be unclean <2930>.

14 Then answered <6030> Haggai <2292>, and said <0559>, So

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

<2088> nation <1471> before <6440> me, saith <5002> the LORD

<3068>; and so <3651> [is] every <3605> work <4639> of their

hands <3027>; and that which <0834> they offer <7126> there

<8033> [is] unclean <2931>.

15 And now <4994>, I pray <4994> you, consider from this <2088>

day <3117> and upward <4605>, from before <2962> a stone <68>

was laid <7760> upon a stone <68> in the temple <1964> of the

LORD <3068>:

16 Since those [days] were, when [one] came <0935> to an heap

<6194> of twenty <6242> [measures], there were [but] ten <6235>:

when [one] came <0935> to the pressfat <3342> for to draw <2834>

out fifty <2572> [vessels] out of the press <6333>, there were

[but] twenty <6242>.

17 I smote <5221> you with blasting <7711> and with mildew

<3420> and with hail <1259> in all <3605> the labours <4639> of

your hands <3027>; yet ye [turned] not to me, saith <5002> the

LORD <3068>.

18 Consider now <4994> from this <2088> day <3117> and upward

<4605>, from the four <0702> and twentieth <6242> day <3117> of

the ninth <8671> [month, even] from the day <3117> that the

foundation <3245> of the LORD'S <3068> temple <1964> was laid,

consider [it].

19 Is the seed <2233> yet <5750> in the barn <4035>? yea, as

yet <5704> the vine <1612>, and the fig <8384> tree, and the

pomegranate <7416>, and the olive <2132> tree <6086>, hath not

brought <5375> forth <5375>: from this <2088> day <3117> will I

bless <1288> [you].

20. And again <8145> the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> came

<1961> unto Haggai <2292> in the four <0702> and twentieth

<6242> [day] of the month <2320>, saying <0559>,

21 Speak <0559> to Zerubbabel <2216>, governor <6346> of Judah

<3063>, saying <0559>, I will shake <7493> the heavens <8064>

and the earth <0776>;

22 And I will overthrow <2015> the throne <3678> of kingdoms

<4467>, and I will destroy <8045> the strength <2392> of the

kingdoms <4467> of the heathen <1471>; and I will overthrow

<2015> the chariots <4818>, and those that ride <7392> in them;

and the horses <5483> and their riders <7392> shall come <3381>

down <3381>, every <0376> one <0376> by the sword <2719> of his

brother <0251>.

23 In that day <3117>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635>, will I take <3947> thee, O Zerubbabel <2216>, my servant

<5650>, the son <1121> of Shealtiel <7597>, saith <5002> the

LORD <3068>, and will make <7760> thee as a signet <2368>: for I

have chosen <0977> thee, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> of hosts

<6635>.
