the
second
year
of
Darius
the
king,
in
the
sixth
month,
in
the
first
day
of
the
month,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
by
the
hand
of Aggeus
the
prophet,
to Zorobabel
the
son
of Salathiel,
governor
of Juda,
and
to Jesus
the
son
of Josedec
the
high
priest,
saying:
\VS{2}Thus saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
saying:
This
people saith:
The
time
is
not
yet
come
for
building
the
house
of
the
Lord.
\VS{3}And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
by
the
hand
of Aggeus
the
prophet,
saying:
\VS{4}Is
it
time
for
you
to
dwell
in ceiled
houses,
and
this
house lie desolate?
\VS{5}And
now
thus saith
the
Lord
of
hosts:
Set
your
hearts
to
consider
your
ways.
\VS{6}You
have
sowed
much,
and
brought
in
little:
you
have
eaten,
but
have
not
had
enough:
you
have
drunk,
but
have
not
been
filled
with
drink:
you
have
clothed
yourselves,
but
have
not
been warmed:
and
he
that hath earned
wages,
put
them
into
a
bag
with
holes.
\VS{7}Thus saith
the
Lord
of
hosts:
Set
Your
hearts
upon
your
ways:
\VS{8}Go
up
to
the
mountain,
bring
timber,
and
build
the
house:
and
it
shall
be
acceptable
to
me,
and
I
shall
be
glorified, saith
the
Lord.
\VS{9}You
have
looked
for
more,
and
behold
it became less,
and
you
brought
it
home,
and
I blowed
it
away:
why, saith
the
Lord
of
hosts?
because
my
house
is desolate,
and
you make haste
every
man
to
his
own
house.
\VS{10}Therefore
the
heavens
over
you
were stayed
from giving
dew,
and
the
earth
was hindered
from yielding
her fruits:
\VS{11}And
I
called
for
a drought
upon
the
land,
and
upon
the
mountains,
and
upon
the corn,
and
upon
the
wine,
and
upon
the
oil,
and
upon
all
that
the
ground bringeth
forth,
and
upon
men,
and
upon
beasts,
and
upon
all
the labour
of
the
hands.
\VS{12}Then Zorobabel
the
son
of Salathiel,
and Jesus
the
son
of Josedec
the
high
priest,
and
all
the
remnant
of
the
people hearkened
to
the
voice
of
the
Lord
their
God,
and
to
the
words
of Aggeus
the
prophet,
as
the
Lord
their
God
sent
him
to
them:
and
the
people
feared
before
the
Lord.
\VS{13}And Aggeus
the
messenger
of
the
Lord,
as
one
of
the
messengers
of
the
Lord,
spoke,
saying
to
the
people:
I
am
with
you, saith
the
Lord.
\VS{14}And
the
Lord
stirred
up
the
spirit
of Zorobabel
the
son
of Salathiel
governor
of Juda,
and
the
spirit
of Jesus
the
son
of Josedec
the
high
priest,
and
the
spirit
of
all
the
rest
of
the
people:
and
they
went
in,
and
did
the
work
in
the
house
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
their
God.

the four
and
twentieth
day
of
the
month,
in
the sixth
month,
in
the second
year
of Darius
the king,
they
began.
\VS{2}And
in
the seventh month,
the
word
of
the Lord
came
by
the hand
of Aggeus
the
prophet,
saying:
\VS{3}Speak
to Zorobabel
the son
of Salathiel
the governor
of Juda,
and
to Jesus
the son
of Josedec
the high priest,
and
to
the
rest
of
the
people, saying:
\VS{4}Who
is left
among
you,
that
saw
this house
in
its first glory?
and
how
do
you see
it
now?
is
it
not
in comparison
to
that
as
nothing
in
your eyes?
\VS{5}Yet
now
take
courage, O Zorobabel, saith
the Lord,
and
take
courage, O Jesus
the son
of Josedec
the
high priest,
and
take
courage,
all ye
people
of
the land, saith
the Lord
of hosts:
and perform (for
I am
with
you, saith
the Lord
of hosts)
\VS{6}The
word
that
I covenanted
with
you
when
you
came
out
of
the
land
of Egypt:
and
my spirit
shall
be
in
the midst
of
you: fear
not.
\VS{7}For
thus saith
the
Lord
of
hosts:
Yet
one little
while,
and
I
will move
the heaven
and
the earth,
and
the sea,
and
the dry land.
\VS{8}And
I
will move all nations:
AND
THE DESIRED
OF ALL NATIONS
SHALL
COME:
and
I
will fill
this house
with glory: saith
the
Lord
of
hosts.
\VS{9}The silver
is
mine,
and
the gold
is
mine, saith
the
Lord
of
hosts.
\VS{10}Great
shall
be
the glory
of
this last house more than
of
the first, saith
the
Lord
of hosts:
and
in
this
place
I
will
give peace, saith
the
Lord
of hosts.
\VS{11}In
the four
and twentieth day
of
the ninth month,
in
the second year
of Darius
the king,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to Aggeus
the
prophet,
saying:
\VS{12}Thus saith
the Lord
of hosts:
Ask
the
priests
the law,
saying:
\VS{13}If
a
man carry sanctified flesh
in
the skirt
of
his garment,
and
touch
with
his skirt, bread,
or pottage,
or wine,
or oil,
or
any meat:
shall
it
be sanctified?
And
the
priests
answered,
and
said:
No.
\VS{14}And Aggeus
said:
If
one
that
is
unclean
by
occasion
of
a soul touch
any
of
all
these
things,
shall
it
be
defiled?
And
the priests
answered,
and
said:
It
shall
be
defiled.
\VS{15}And Aggeus answered,
and
said:
So
is
this people,
and
so
is
this nation
before
my face, saith
the
Lord,
and
so
is
all
the
work
of
their hands:
and
all
that
they
have offered
there,
shall
be defiled.
\VS{16}And
now consider
in
your hearts,
from
this day
and upward,
before
there
was
a stone
laid
upon
a stone
in
the temple
of
the Lord.
\VS{17}When
you
went
to
a heap
of twenty bushels,
and
they became ten:
and
you
went
into
the press,
to press
out fifty vessels,
and
they became twenty.
\VS{18}I struck
you
with
a blasting wind,
and
all
the works
of
your hand
with
the mildew
and
with hail,
yet
there
was
none
among
you
that returned
to
me, saith
the
Lord.
\VS{19}Set
your hearts
from
this
day,
and henceforward,
from
the four
and twentieth
day
of
the ninth month:
from
the
day
that
the foundations
of
the temple
of
the Lord
were
laid,
and lay
it
up
in
your hearts.
\VS{20}Is
the seed
as
yet sprung
up?
or hath
the vine,
and
the fig tree,
and
the pomegranate,
and
the olive tree
as
yet flourished?
from
this
day
I
will bless
you.
\VS{21}And
the
word
of
the Lord
came
a second time
to Aggeus
in
the four
and twentieth day
of
the month,
saying:
\VS{22}Speak
to Zorobabel
the governor
of Juda, saying: I
will move both heaven
and earth.
\VS{23}And
I
will overthrow
the throne
of kingdoms,
and
will destroy
the strength
of
the kingdom
of
the Gentiles:
and
I
will overthrow
the chariot,
and
him
that rideth therein:
and
the horses
and
their riders
shall
come
down,
every
one
by
the sword
of
his brother.
\VS{24}In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, I will take thee, O Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, my servant, saith the Lord, and will make thee as a signet, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
