1:1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month,
 on the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by the
 prophet Haggai unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor
 of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest,
 saying,
1:2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The
 time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be
 built.
1:3 And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
1:4 Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted
 houses, while this house lieth waste?
1:5 And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
1:6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but are not
 satisfied; ye drink, but are not filled with drink; ye clothe
 yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages
 earneth wages for a bag with holes.
1:7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
1:8 Go up to the mountain and bring wood, and build the house,
 and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith
 Jehovah.
1:9 Ye looked for much, and behold it was little; and when ye
 brought it home, I blew upon it. Wherefore? saith Jehovah of
 hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, whilst ye run
 every man to his own house.
1:10 Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the
 earth withholdeth its fruit.
1:11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the
 mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon
 the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and
 upon man, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the
 hands.
1:12 And Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of
 Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people,
 hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of
 Haggai the prophet, according as Jehovah their God had sent
 him, and the people feared before Jehovah.
1:13 Then spoke Haggai, Jehovah's messenger, in Jehovah's
 message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.
1:14 And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of
 Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son
 of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the
 remnant of the people; and they came and worked at the house of
 Jehovah of hosts, their God,
1:15 in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the
 second year of Darius the king.
2:1 In the seventh [month], on the one and twentieth [day] of
 the month, came the word of Jehovah by the prophet Haggai,
 saying,
2:2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of
 Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and
 to the remnant of the people, saying,
2:3 Who is left among you that saw this house in its former
 glory? and how do ye see it now? Is it not as nothing in your
 eyes?
2:4 But now be strong, Zerubbabel, saith Jehovah; and be strong,
 Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye
 people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you,
 saith Jehovah of hosts.
2:5 The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of
 Egypt, and my Spirit, remain among you: fear ye not.
2:6 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little
 while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the
 sea, and the dry [land];
2:7 and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations
 shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith
 Jehovah of hosts.
2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of
 hosts.
2:9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the
 former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give
 peace, saith Jehovah of hosts.
2:10 On the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth [month], in
 the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai
 the prophet, saying,
2:11 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ask now the priests
 [concerning] the law, saying,
2:12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and
 with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or
 any food -- shall it become holy? And the priests answered and
 said, No.
2:13 And Haggai said, If one that is unclean by a dead body
 touch any of these, is it become unclean? And the priests
 answered and said, It shall be unclean.
2:14 Then answered Haggai and said, So is this people, and so is
 this nation before me, saith Jehovah, and so is every work of
 their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
2:15 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and onward,
 from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of
 Jehovah,
2:16 -- before those [days] were, when one came to a heap of
 twenty [measures], there were but ten; when one came to the vat
 to draw out fifty press-measures, there were but twenty.
2:17 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in
 all the work of your hands; and ye [turned] not to me, saith
 Jehovah.
2:18 Consider, I pray you, from this day and onward, from the
 four and twentieth day of the ninth [month], from the day that
 the foundation of Jehovah's temple was laid, consider [it].
2:19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the
 fig-tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-tree have not
 brought forth: from this day will I bless [you].
2:20 And the word of Jehovah came the second time unto Haggai on
 the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
2:21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will
 shake the heavens and the earth;
2:22 and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will
 destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will
 overthrow the chariots, and those that ride therein; and the
 horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword
 of his brother.
2:23 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, will I take thee,
 Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, my servant, saith Jehovah, and
 will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith
 Jehovah of hosts.
