\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
second
year
of
Darius
the
king,
in
the
sixth
month,
on
the
first
day
of
the
month,
came
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
the
prophet
Haggai unto
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
governor
of
Judah,
and
to
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
saying,
\VS{2}Thus speaketh
Jehovah
of
hosts,
saying,
This
people
say,
The
time
is
not
come,
the
time
that Jehovah's
house
should
be
built.
\VS{3}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
by
Haggai
the
prophet,
saying,
\VS{4}Is
it
time
for
you
that ye should
dwell
in
your wainscoted
houses,
while
this
house lieth waste?
\VS{5}And
now
thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Consider
your
ways.
\VS{6}Ye
have
sown
much,
and
bring
in
little; ye
eat,
but
are
not
satisfied; ye
drink,
but
are
not
filled
with
drink; ye
clothe
yourselves,
but
there
is
none
warm;
and
he
that earneth
wages earneth
wages
for
a
bag
with
holes.
\VS{7}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Consider
your
ways.
\VS{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.
\VS{9}Ye
looked
for
much,
and
behold
it
was
little;
and
when ye
brought
it
home,
I blew
upon
it. Wherefore? saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
Because
of
my
house
that lieth waste, whilst ye
run
every
man
to
his
own
house.
\VS{10}Therefore
over
you
the
heavens
withhold
their
dew,
and
the
earth withholdeth
its
fruit.
\VS{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
man,
and
upon
cattle,
and
upon
all
the labour
of
the
hands.
\VS{12}And
Zerubbabel
the
son
of
Shealtiel,
and
Joshua
the
son
of
Jehozadak,
the
high
priest,
and
all
the
remnant
of
the
people, hearkened
to
the
voice
of
Jehovah
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
and
the
words
of
Haggai
the
prophet,
according
as
Jehovah
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:12 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God
had
sent
him,
and
the
people
feared
before
Jehovah.
\VS{13}Then
spoke
Haggai, Jehovah's
messenger,
in Jehovah's
message unto
the
people,
saying,
I
am
with
you, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{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
worked
at
the
house
of
Jehovah
of
hosts,
their
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:14 }

Elohim|strong="H0430"}God,
\VS{15}in
the
four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
sixth
month,
in
the
second
year
of
Darius
the
king.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}In
the
seventh [month],
on
the
one
and
twentieth [day]
of
the
month,
came
the
word
of
Jehovah
by
the
prophet
Haggai,
saying,
\VS{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,
\VS{3}Who
is
left
among
you
that
saw
this
house
in
its
former
glory?
and
how
do ye
see
it
now?
Is
it
not
as
nothing
in
your
eyes?
\VS{4}But
now
be
strong,
Zerubbabel, saith
Jehovah;
and
be
strong,
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.
\VS{5}The
word
that
I
covenanted
with
you
when ye
came
out
of
Egypt,
and
my
Spirit,
remain
among
you:
fear ye
not.
\VS{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];
\VS{7}and
I
will
shake
all
nations,
and
the
desire
of
all
nations
shall
come;
and
I
will
fill
this
house
with
glory, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
\VS{8}The
silver
is mine,
and
the
gold
is mine, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
\VS{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.
\VS{10}On
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,
\VS{11}Thus saith
Jehovah
of
hosts:
Ask
now
the
priests [concerning]
the
law,
saying,
\VS{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.
\VS{13}And
Haggai
said,
If
one
that
is
unclean
by
a
dead
body
touch
any
of
these,
is
it
become
unclean?
And
the
priests
answered
and
said,
It
shall
be
unclean.
\VS{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.
\VS{15}And
now,
I
pray
you,
consider
from
this
day
and
onward,
from
before
a
stone
was
laid
upon
a
stone
in
the
temple
of
Jehovah,
\VS{16}—
before
those [days]
were,
when
one
came
to
a
heap
of
twenty [measures],
there
were
but
ten;
when
one
came
to
the
vat
to
draw
out
fifty press-measures,
there
were
but
twenty.
\VS{17}I
smote
you
with blasting
and
with
mildew
and
with
hail
in
all
the
work
of
your
hands;
and ye [turned]
not
to
me, saith
Jehovah.
\VS{18}Consider,
I
pray
you,
from
this
day
and
onward,
from
the
four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
ninth [month],
from
the
day
that
the
foundation
of Jehovah's
temple
was
laid,
consider [it].
\VS{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].
\VS{20}And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
the
second
time unto
Haggai
on
the
four
and
twentieth [day]
of
the
month,
saying,
\VS{21}Speak
to
Zerubbabel,
governor
of
Judah,
saying,
I
will
shake
the
heavens
and
the
earth;
\VS{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 therein;
and
the
horses
and
their
riders
shall
come
down,
every
one
by
the
sword
of
his
brother.
\VS{23}In
that
day, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts,
will
I
take thee,
Zerubbabel
son
of
Shealtiel,
my
servant, saith
Jehovah,
and
will
make thee
as
a
signet;
for
I
have
chosen thee, saith
Jehovah
of
hosts.
