KJB-1611 HAG Chapter 2

0 1 He incourageth the people to the worke, by promise of greater glory to the second Temple, then was in the first. 10 In the type, of holy things and vncleane, hee sheweth their sinnes hindred the worke. 20 Gods promise to Zerubbabel. II ¶ In the seuenth moneth, in the one and twentith day of the moneth, came the word of the LORD [fn]by the Prophet Haggai, saying; 2 Speake now to Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, gouernour of Iudah, and to Iosuah the sonne of Iosedech the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, 3 Who is left among you that sawe 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 bee strong, O Ioshua, sonne of Iosedech the high Priest, and be strong all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and worke: (for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts,) 5 According to the word that I couenanted with you, when ye came out of Egypt, so my Spirit remaineth among you, Feare ye not. 6 [fn]For thus saith the LORD of hosts, Yet once, it is a litle while, and I will shake the heauens, and the earth, and the sea, and the drie 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 siluer is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. 9 The glory of this latter house shal be greater then of the former, saith the LORD of hostes: and in this place will I giue peace, saith the LORD of hostes. 10 ¶ In the foure and twentieth day of the ninth moneth, in the second yeere of Darius, came y^e word of the LORD by Haggai the Prophet, saying, 11 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Aske now the priests concerning the law, saying, 12 If one beare holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt doe touch bread or pottage, or wine, or oile, or any meate, shall it be holy? and the priests answered and said, No. 13 Then said Haggai, If one that is vncleane by a dead body, touch any of these, shal it be vncleane? and the priests answered and said, It shalbe vncleane. 14 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD, and so is euery worke of their hands, and that which they offer there, is vncleane. 15 And now I pray you consider from this day and vpward, from before a stone was laid vpon a stone in the Temple of the LORD. 16 Since those dayes were, when one came to an heape of twentie measures, there were but ten: when one came to the presse-fatte for to draw out fiftie vessels out of the presse, there were but twentie. 17 [fn]I smote you with blasting, and with mildew, and with haile in all the labours of your hands: yet yee turned not to me, saith the LORD. 18 Consider now from this day, and vpward from the foure and twentieth day of the ninth moneth, euen from the day that the foundatio of the LORDs Temple was laid, consider it. 19 Is the seed yet in the barne? yea, as yet the vine and the fig tree, & the pomegranate, and the Oliue tree hath not brought foorth: from this day will I blesse you. 20 ¶ And againe the worde of the LORD came vnto Haggai in the foure and twentieth day of the moneth, saying, 21 Speake to Zerubbabel gouernor of Iudah, saying, I wil shake the heauens and the earth. 22 And I will ouerthrow the throne of kingdomes, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdomes of the heathen, and I will ouerthrow the charets, and those that ride in them, and the horses and their riders shall come downe, euery one by the sword of his brother. 23 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my seruant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I haue chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
