Haggai
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,
A Call to Build the
House of the Lord
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.
1:3 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,
saying,
1:4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled
houses, and this house lie waste?
1:5 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider
your ways.
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.
1:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
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.
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.
1:10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and
the earth is stayed from her fruit.
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.
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.
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.
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,
1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in
the second year of Darius the king. |
