In the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the king,H4428 in the sixthH8345 month,H2320 in the firstH259 dayH3117 of the month,H2320 cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030 to ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of Shealtiel,H7597 governorH6346 of Judah,H3063 and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Josedech,H3087 the highH1419 priest,H3548 saying,H559
2
ThusH3541 speaksH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 saying,H559 ThisH2088 peopleH5971 say,H559 The timeH6256 is not come,H935 the timeH6256 that the LORD'sH3068 houseH1004 should be built.H1129
3
Then cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by HaggaiH2292 the prophet,H5030 saying,H559
4
Is it timeH6256 for you, O you, to dwellH3427 in your paneledH5603 houses,H1004 and thisH2088 houseH1004 lie waste?H2720
5
NowH6258 therefore thusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts;H6635 ConsiderH7760 your ways.H1870
6
You have sownH2232 much,H7235 and bringH935 in little;H4592 you eat,H398 but you have not enough;H7654 you drink,H8354 but you are not filled with drink;H7937 you clotheH3847 you, but there is noneH369 warm;H2527 and he that earnsH7936 wagesH7936 earnsH7936 wagesH7936 to put it intoH413 a bagH6872 with holes.H5344
7
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts;H6635 ConsiderH7760 your ways.H1870
8
GoH5927 up to the mountain,H2022 and bringH935 wood,H6086 and buildH1129 the house;H1004 and I will take pleasureH7521 in it, and I will be glorified,H3513 saidH559 the LORD.H3068
9
You lookedH6437 for much,H7235 and, see H2009it came to little;H4592 and when you broughtH935 it home,H1004 I did blowH5301 on it. Why?H3282 saidH5002 the LORDH3068 of hosts.H6635 BecauseH3282 of my houseH1004 that is waste,H2720 and you runH7323 every manH376 to his own house.H1004
10
ThereforeH5921 H3651 the heavenH8064 overH5921 you is stayedH3607 from dew,H2919 and the earthH776 is stayedH3607 from her fruit.H2981
11
And I calledH7121 for a droughtH2721 on the land,H776 and on the mountains,H2022 and on the corn,H1715 and on the newH8492 wine,H8492 and on the oil,H3323 and on that whichH834 the groundH127 bringsH3318 forth,H3318 and on men,H120 and on cattle,H929 and on allH3605 the laborH3018 of the hands.H3709
12
Then ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of Shealtiel,H7597 and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Josedech,H3087 the highH1419 priest,H3548 with allH3605 the remnantH7611 of the people,H5971 obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 their God,H430 and the wordsH1697 of HaggaiH2292 the prophet,H5030 as the LORDH3068 their GodH430 had sentH7971 him, and the peopleH5971 did fearH3372 beforeH6440 the LORD.H3068
13
Then spokeH559 HaggaiH2292 the LORD'sH3068 messengerH4397 in the LORD'sH3068 messageH4400 to the people,H5971 saying,H559 I am with you, saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
14
And the LORDH3068 stirredH5782 up the spiritH7307 of ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of Shealtiel,H7597 governorH6346 of Judah,H3063 and the spiritH7307 of JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Josedech,H3087 the highH1419 priest,H3548 and the spiritH7307 of allH3605 the remnantH7611 of the people;H5971 and they cameH935 and didH6213 workH4399 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 their God,H430
15
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the sixthH8345 month,H2320 in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the king.H4428
