In the seventhH7637 month, in the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 day of the month,H2320 cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the prophetH5030 Haggai,H2292 saying,H559
2
SpeakH559 nowH4994 to ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of Shealtiel,H7597 governorH6346 of Judah,H3063 and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of Josedech,H3087 the highH1419 priest,H3548 and to the residueH7611 of the people,H5971 saying,H559
3
WhoH4310 is leftH7604 among you that sawH7200 thisH2088 houseH1004 in her firstH7223 glory?H3519 and howH4100 do you seeH7200 it now?H6258 is it not in your eyesH5869 in comparisonH3644 of it as nothing?H369
4
Yet nowH6258 be strong,H2388 O Zerubbabel,H2216 saidH5002 the LORD;H3068 and be strong,H2388 O Joshua,H3091 sonH1121 of Josedech,H3087 the highH1419 priest;H3548 and be strong,H2388 allH3605 you peopleH5971 of the land,H776 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 and work:H6213 for I am with you, saidH5002 the LORDH3068 of hosts:H6635
5
According to the wordH1697 that I covenantedH3772 with you when you cameH3318 out of Egypt,H4714 so my spiritH7307 remainsH5975 amongH8432 you: fearH3372 you not.
6
For thusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts;H6635 YetH5750 once,H259 it is a littleH4592 while, and I will shakeH7493 the heavens,H8064 and the earth,H776 and the sea,H3220 and the dryH2724 land;
7
And I will shakeH7493 allH3605 nations,H1471 and the desireH2532 of allH3605 nationsH1471 shall come:H935 and I will fillH4390 thisH2088 houseH1004 with glory,H3519 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts.H6635
8
The silverH3701 is mine, and the goldH2091 is mine, saidH5002 the LORDH3068 of hosts.H6635
9
The gloryH3519 of thisH2088 latterH314 houseH1004 shall be greaterH1419 than of the former,H7223 saidH5002 the LORDH3068 of hosts:H6635 and in thisH2088 placeH4725 will I giveH5414 peace,H7965 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts.H6635
10
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of Darius,H1867 cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by HaggaiH2292 the prophet,H5030 saying,H559
11
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts;H6635 AskH7592 nowH4994 the priestsH3548 concerning the law,H8451 saying,H559
12
IfH2005 one bearH5375 holyH6944 fleshH1320 in the skirtH3671 of his garment,H899 and with his skirtH3671 do touchH5060 bread,H3899 or pottage,H5138 or wine,H3196 or oil,H8081 or anyH3605 meat,H3978 shall it be holy?H6942 And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and said,H559 No.H3808
13
Then saidH559 Haggai,H2292 IfH518 one that is uncleanH2931 by a dead bodyH5315 touchH5060 anyH3605 of these,H428 shall it be unclean?H2930 And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and said,H559 It shall be unclean.H2930
14
Then answeredH6030 Haggai,H2292 and said,H559 SoH3651 is thisH2088 people,H5971 and soH3651 is thisH2088 nationH1471 beforeH6440 me, saidH5002 the LORD;H3068 and soH3651 is everyH3605 workH4639 of their hands;H3027 and that whichH834 they offerH7126 thereH8033 is unclean.H2931
15
And now,H4994 I prayH4994 you, considerH7760 H3820 from thisH2088 dayH3117 and upward,H4605 from beforeH2962 a stoneH68 was laidH7760 on a stoneH68 in the templeH1964 of the LORD:H3068
16
Since those days were, when one cameH935 to an heapH6194 of twentyH6242 measures, there were but ten:H6235 when one cameH935 to the fat pressH3342 for to drawH2834 out fiftyH2572 vessels out of the press,H6333 there were but twenty.H6242
17
I smoteH5221 you with blastingH7711 and with mildewH3420 and with hailH1259 in allH3605 the laborsH4639 of your hands;H3027 yet you turned not to me, saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
18
ConsiderH3820 nowH4994 from thisH2088 dayH3117 and upward,H4605 from the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the ninthH8671 month, even from the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the LORD'sH3068 templeH1964 was laid, considerH3820 it.
19
Is the seedH2233 yetH5750 in the barn?H4035 yes, as yetH5704 the vine,H1612 and the figH8384 tree, and the pomegranate,H7416 and the oliveH2132 tree,H6086 has not broughtH5375 forth:H5375 from thisH2088 dayH3117 will I blessH1288 you.
20
And againH8145 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to HaggaiH2292 in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the month,H2320 saying,H559
21
SpeakH559 to Zerubbabel,H2216 governorH6346 of Judah,H3063 saying,H559 I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064 and the earth;H776
22
And I will overthrowH2015 the throneH3678 of kingdoms,H4467 and I will destroyH8045 the strengthH2392 of the kingdomsH4467 of the heathen;H1471 and I will overthrowH2015 the chariots,H4818 and those that rideH7392 in them; and the horsesH5483 and their ridersH7392 shall comeH3381 down,H3381 everyH376 oneH376 by the swordH2719 of his brother.H251
23
In that day,H3117 saidH5002 the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 will I takeH3947 you, O Zerubbabel,H2216 my servant,H5650 the sonH1121 of Shealtiel,H7597 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 and will makeH7760 you as a signet:H2368 for I have chosenH977 you, saidH5002 the LORDH3068 of hosts.H6635
