Haggai 2

The Builders Encouraged

^{Tools
1} On the twenty-first of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by ^(A)Haggai the prophet saying, ^{Tools
2} “Speak now to ^(B)Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, ^(C)governor of Judah, and to ^(D)Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the ^(E)remnant of the people saying, ^{Tools
3} ‘Who is ^(F)left among you who saw this ^(a)temple in its ^(G)former glory? And how do you see it now? Does it not ^(b)seem to you like nothing ^(c)in comparison? ^{Tools
4} But now ^(d)^(H)take courage, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord, ‘take courage also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all you people of the land take courage,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work; for ^(I)I am with you,’ declares the Lord of hosts. ^{Tools
5} ‘As for the ^(e)^(J)promise which I ^(f)made you when you came out of Egypt, ^(g)My ^(K)Spirit is abiding in your midst; ^(L)do not fear!’ ^{Tools
6} For thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘^(M)Once more ^(h)in a ^(N)little while, I am going to ^(O)shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. ^{Tools
7} I will shake ^(P)all the nations; and ⁽ⁱ⁾they will come with the ^(Q)wealth of all nations, and I will ^(R)fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts. ^{Tools
8} ‘The ^(S)silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the Lord of hosts. ^{Tools
9} ‘The latter ^(T)glory of this house will be greater than the ^(U)former,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give ^(V)peace,’ declares the Lord of hosts.”

^{Tools
10} On the ^(W)twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Haggai the prophet, saying, ^{Tools
11} “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘^(X)Ask now the priests for a ^(j)ruling: ^{Tools
12} If a man carries ^(Y)holy meat in the ^(k)fold of his garment, and touches bread with ^(l)this fold, or cooked food, wine, oil, or any other food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered, “No.” ^{Tools
13} Then Haggai said, “^(Z)If one who is unclean from a ^(m)corpse touches any of these, will the latter become unclean?” And the priests answered, “It will become unclean.” ^{Tools
14} Then Haggai said, “‘^(AA)So is this people. And so is this nation before Me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean. ^{Tools
15} But now, do ⁽ⁿ⁾^(AB)consider from this day ^(o)onward: before one ^(AC)stone was placed on another in the temple of the Lord, ^{Tools
16} ^(p)from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty ^(q)measures, there would be only twenty. ^{Tools
17} I smote you and every work of your hands with ^(AD)blasting wind, mildew and hail; ^(r)yet you did not come back to Me,’ declares the Lord. ^{Tools
18} ‘Do ^(s)^(AE)consider from this day ^(t)onward, from the ^(AF)twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was ^(AG)founded, ^(u)consider: ^{Tools
19} Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree, it has not borne fruit. Yet from this day on I will ^(AH)bless you.’”

^{Tools
20} Then the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai on the ^(AI)twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, ^{Tools
21} “Speak to ^(AJ)Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, ‘I am going to ^(AK)shake the heavens and the earth. ^{Tools
22} I will ^(AL)overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the ^(AM)power of the kingdoms of the ^(v)nations; and I will ^(AN)overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the ^(AO)horses and their riders will go down, ^(AP)everyone by the sword of another.’ ^{Tools
23} ‘On that day,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like a ^(w)^(AQ)signet ring, for ^(AR)I have chosen you,’” declares the Lord of hosts.
