Haggai:
Chapter 1
1. In the second year of
Da-ri-us the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month,
came the word of the LORD by Hag-gai the prophet unto Ze-rub-ba-bel the
son of She-al-ti-el, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of
Jos-e-dech, the high priest, saying,
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.
3. Then came the word of the LORD by Hag-gai the prophet, saying,
4. It is time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this
house lie waste?
5. Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
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.
7. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
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.
9. Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when you 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.
10. Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is
stayed from her fruit.
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.
12. Then Ze-rub-ba-bel the son of She-al-ti-el, and Joshua the son of
Jos-e-dech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed
the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Hag-gai the prophet,
as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the
LORD.
13. Then spake Hag-gai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto
the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
14. And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Ze-rub-ba-bel the son of
She-al-ti-el, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of
Jos-e-dech, 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.
15. In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year
of Da-ri-us the king.
