Bible, King James Version
Haggai
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,
[
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
Haggai the prophet, saying,
[
4] Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in
your cieled 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 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.
[
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
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.
[
13] Then spake Haggai 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 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,
[
15] In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the
second year of Darius the king.
Hag.2
[
1] In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of
the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai,
saying,
[
2] Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of
Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of
the people, saying,
[
3] Who is left among you that saw this house in
her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison
of it as nothing?
[
4] Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD;
and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye
people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD
of hosts:
[
5] According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye
came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
[
6]
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will
shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
[
7]
And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I
will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
[
8] The
silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
[
9] The
glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD
of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of
hosts.
[
10] In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the
second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,
saying,
[
11] Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests
concerning the law, saying,
[
12] If one bear holy flesh in the skirt
of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil,
or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said,
No.
[
13] Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch
any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall
be unclean.
[
14] Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people,
and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their
hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
[
15] And now, I
pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a
stone in the temple of the LORD:
[
16] Since those days were, when one
came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the
pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but
twenty.
[
17] I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail
in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the
LORD.
[
18] Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and
twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the
LORD's temple was laid, consider it.
[
19] Is the seed yet in the barn?
yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree,
hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
[
20] And again
the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the
month, saying,
[
21] Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I
will shake the heavens and the earth;
[
22] And I will overthrow the
throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the
heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the
horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his
brother.
[
23] In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee,
O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make
thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
