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>.
