Temple » The second » Resumed
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Let your hands be strong, ye who are hearing, in these days, these words, - from the mouth of the prophets who, on the day the house of Yahweh of hosts, was founded, foretold that, the temple, should be built: -
Then ceased the work of the house of God, which was in Jerusalem, - yea it did cease, until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, - This people, have said, Not yet hath come the time for the house of Yahweh to be built. Therefore hath come the word of Yahweh by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying: Is it a time that, ye yourselves, should be dwelling in your own paneled houses? and, this house, be in ruins? read more.
Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, - Apply your heart unto your own experience - Ye have sown much, but have brought in little, have eaten, and not been filled, have drunk, and not been satisfied with drink, have clothed you, and none hath been warm, - and, he that hath hired himself out, hath put his wages into a bag with holes. Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, - Apply your heart to your own experience: Ascend the mountain - and bring in wood and build the house, - that I may be pleased therewith and get myself glory, saith Yahweh. When ye looked for much, then lo! it came to little, when ye brought it home, then I did blow into it, - Because of what? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts, Because of my house, the which is in ruins, while ye keep running every man to his own house.

Now, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, - So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,
