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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
