THE BOOK OF
HAGGAI
1Haggai1 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
Jehovah
by
Haggai
the
prophet
unto
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
governor
of
Judah,
and
to
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
saying,
2 1:2
Thus
speaketh
Jehovah
of
hosts,
saying,
This
people
say,
It
is
not
the
time
for
us
to
come,
the
time
for Jehovah’s
house
to
be
built.
3 1:3
Then
came
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
Haggai
the
prophet,
saying,
4 1:4
Is
it
a
time
for
you
yourselves
to
dwell
in
your ceiled
houses,
while
this
house
lieth
waste?
5 1:5
Now
therefore
thus
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Consider
your
ways.
6 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.
7 1:7
Thus
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Consider
your
ways.
8 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
Jehovah.
9 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
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Because
of
my
house
that
lieth
waste,
while
ye
run
every
man
to
his
own
house.
10 1:10
Therefore
for
your
sake
the
heavens
withhold
the
dew,
and
the
earth
withholdeth
its
fruit.
11 1:11
And
I
called
for
a
drought
upon
the
land,
and
upon
the
mountains,
and
upon
the
grain,
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
labor
of
the
hands.
12 1:12
Then
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
with
all
the
remnant
of
the
people,
obeyed
the
voice
of
Jehovah
their
God,
and
the
words
of
Haggai
the
prophet,
as
Jehovah
their
God
had
sent
him;
and
the
people
did
fear
before
Jehovah.
13 1:13
Then
spake
Haggai Jehovah’s
messenger
in Jehovah’s
message
unto
the
people,
saying,
I
am
with
you,
saith
Jehovah.
14 1:14
And
Jehovah
stirred
up
the
spirit
of
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
governor
of
Judah,
and
the
spirit
of
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
and
the
spirit
of
all
the
remnant
of
the
people;
and
they
came
and
did
work
on
the
house
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
their
God,
15 1:15
in
the
four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
month,
in
the
sixth
month,
in
the
second
year
of
Darius
the
king.
21 2:1
In
the
seventh
month,
in
the
one
and
twentieth
day
of
the
month,
came
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
Haggai
the
prophet,
saying,
2 2:2
Speak
now
to
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
governor
of
Judah,
and
to
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
and
to
the
remnant
of
the
people,
saying,
3 2:3
Who
is
left
among
you
that
saw
this
house
in
its
former
glory?
and
how
do
ye
see
it
now?
is
it
not
in
your
eyes
as
nothing?
4 2:4
Yet
now
be
strong,
O
Zerubbabel,
saith
Jehovah;
and
be
strong,
O
Joshua,
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest;
and
be
strong,
all
ye
people
of
the
land,
saith
Jehovah,
and
work:
for
I
am
with
you,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
5 2:5
according
to
the
word
that
I
covenanted
with
you
when
ye
came
out
of
Egypt,
and
my
Spirit
abode
among
you:
fear
ye
not.
6 2:6
For
thus
saith
Jehovah
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 2:7
and
I
will
shake
all
nations;
and
the
precious
things
of
all
nations
shall
come;
and
I
will
fill
this
house
with
glory,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
8 2:8
The
silver
is
mine,
and
the
gold
is
mine,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
9 2:9
The
latter
glory
of
this
house
shall
be
greater
than
the
former,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts;
and
in
this
place
will
I
give
peace,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
10 2:10
In
the
four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
ninth
month,
in
the
second
year
of
Darius,
came
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
Haggai
the
prophet,
saying,
11 2:11
Thus
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Ask
now
the
priests
concerning
the
law,
saying,
12 2:12
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
food,
shall
it
become
holy?
And
the
priests
answered
and
said,
No.
13 2:13
Then
said
Haggai,
If
one
that
is
unclean
by
reason
of
a
dead
body
touch
any
of
these,
shall
it
be
unclean?
And
the
priests
answered
and
said,
It
shall
be
unclean.
14 2:14
Then
answered
Haggai
and
said,
So
is
this
people,
and
so
is
this
nation
before
me,
saith
Jehovah;
and
so
is
every
work
of
their
hands;
and
that
which
they
offer
there
is
unclean.
15 2:15
And
now,
I
pray
you,
consider
from
this
day
and
backward,
before
a
stone
was
laid
upon
a
stone
in
the
temple
of
Jehovah.
16 2:16
Through
all
that
time,
when
one
came
to
a
heap
of
twenty
measures,
there
were
but
ten;
when
one
came
to
the winevat
to
draw
out
fifty
vessels,
there
were
but
twenty.
17 2:17
I
smote
you
with
blasting
and
with
mildew
and
with
hail
in
all
the
work
of
your
hands;
yet
ye
turned
not
to
me,
saith
Jehovah.
18 2:18
Consider,
I
pray
you,
from
this
day
and
backward,
from
the
four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
ninth
month,
since
the
day
that
the
foundation
of Jehovah’s
temple
was
laid,
consider
it.
19 2:19
Is
the
seed
yet
in
the
barn?
yea,
the
vine,
and
the fig-tree,
and
the
pomegranate,
and
the olive-tree
have
not
brought
forth;
from
this
day
will
I
bless
you.
20 2:20
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
the
second
time
unto
Haggai
in
the
four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
month,
saying,
21 2:21
Speak
to
Zerubbabel,
governor
of
Judah,
saying,
I
will
shake
the
heavens
and
the
earth;
22 2:22
and
I
will
overthrow
the
throne
of
kingdoms;
and
I
will
destroy
the
strength
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
nations;
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 2:23
In
that
day,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
will
I
take
thee,
O
Zerubbabel,
my
servant,
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
saith
Jehovah,
and
will
make
thee
as
a
signet;
for
I
have
chosen
thee,
saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
