HAG-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,

HAG-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.

HAG-1:3  Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,

saying,

HAG-1:4  [Is it] time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled

houses, and this

house [lie] waste?

HAG-1:5  Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider

your ways.

HAG-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.

HAG-1:7  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

HAG-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.

HAG-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.

HAG-1:10  Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and

the earth is

stayed [from] her fruit.

HAG-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.

HAG-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.

HAG-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.

HAG-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,

HAG-1:15  In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in

the second year

of Darius the king.
