And the word of Jehovah will be by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,

Is the time for you, O ye, to dwell in your covered houses, and this house a waste?

And now, thus said Jehovah of armies: Set your hearts upon your ways

Ye sowed much and brought in little; eating and not being satisfied; ye drank, and not drinking to the full; putting on clothing, and not being warm to him; and he hiring out, hires out for a purse perforated.

Thus said Jehovah of armies: Set your hearts upon your ways.

And I will call the drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine and upon the new oil, and upon what the earth shall bring forth, and upon man and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.

And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel will hear, and Joshua son of Josedeck the great priest, and all the remnant of the people, to the voice of Jehovah their God, and to the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God sent him, and the people will fear from the face of Jehovah.

In the twenty and fourth day to the sixth month in the second year to Darius the king.

For this the heavens over you were shut up from dew, and the earth withheld her produce.

And Jehovah will raise up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedeck the great priest and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they will come and do the work in the house of Jehovah of armies their God.

And Haggai the messenger of Jehovah will say in the message of Jehovah to the people, I am with you, says Jehovah.

Who being left among you who saw this house in its first glory? and how see ye it now? Is it not in your eyes like it as nothing?

Looking for much, and behold, to little; and ye brought to the house and I blew upon it For what? says Jehovah of armies. Because of mine house that it was laid waste, and ye run each to his house.

Go up to the mountain and bring wood, and build the house, and I will delight in it, and I shall be honored, said Jehovah.

And now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says Jehovah; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedeck the great priest; and be strong, O all people of the land, says Jehovah, and do, for I am with you, says Jehovah of armies.

The word which I cut out with you in bringing you forth out of Egypt, and my spirit stood in the midst of you; ye shall not fear.

To me the silver and to me the gold, says Jehovah of armies.

Great shall be the glory of this latter house above the first, said Jehovah of armies: and in this place I will give peace, says Jehovah of armies.

In the twenty and fourth to the ninth, in the second year to Darius, was the-word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,

Thus said Jehovah of armies, Ask now the priests the law, saying,

In the seventh, in the twentieth and one to the month, was the word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,

If a man shall lift up holy flesh in the wing of his garment and touch with the wing of his garment upon the bread and upon pottage, and upon wine and upon oil, and upon any food, shall it be made holy? And the priests shall answer and say, No.

And now, set now your heart from this day and upward, before setting stone upon stone in the temple of Jehovah.

And Haggai will say, If the unclean of soul shall touch upon any of these, shall it be unclean? and the priests shall answer and say, It shall be unclean.

In that day, says Jehovah of armies, I will take thee, O Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, my servant, says Jehovah, and I set thee as a seal; for I chose in thee, says Jehovah of armies.

And Haggai will answer and say, Thus this people and thus this nation before me, says Jehovah; and thus all the work of their hands; and what they shall bring near there it is unclean.

Say now to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedeck the great priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

Say to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I shake the heavens and the earth.

Is the seed yet in the storehouse? and even the vine and the fig tree, and the pomegranate and the olive tree bore not: from this day will I praise.

Set now your heart from this day and upward, from the twenty and fourth day to the ninth, from the day that the temple of Jehovah was founded, set ye your heart

Who were ye coming to the heap of twenty and it was ten? coming to the wine-vat to draw fifty of the wine-press, and there was twenty?

And the word of Jehovah will be the second time to Haggai in the twenty and fourth to the month, saying,

I struck you with blasting and with yellowness and with hail in all the work of your hands; and none with you to me, says Jehovah.

And I overturned the throne of kingdoms, and I destroyed the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I overturned the chariot and those riding it; and the horses and their horsemen came down, a man by the sword of his brother.

In the second year to Darius the king, in the sixth month, in one day of the month, was the word of Jehovah, by the hand of Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Josbna son of Josedeck the great priest, saying

For thus said Jehovah of armies; Yet once it is a little, and I shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land.

Thus said Jehovah of armies, saying, This people said the time was not come, the time of the house of Jehovah to be built

And I shook all nations, and the desire of all nations came; and I filled this house with glory, said Jehovah of armies.
