*
In the second year of Darius the king ,
in the sixth month ,
in the first day of the month ,
came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel Sh @#
altiy #
el #,
governor of Judah ,
and to Joshua the son of Josedech ,
the high priest ,
saying ,
*
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts ,
saying ,
This people say ,
The time is not come ,
the time that the LORDS house should be built .
*
Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet ,
saying ,
*
Is it time for you ,
O ye ,
to dwell in your cieled houses ,
and this house lie waste ?
*
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts ;
Consider your ways .
*
Ye have sown much ,
and bring in little m @#
at #;
ye eat ,
but ye have not enough sob #
ah #;
ye drink ,
but ye are not filled with drink ;
ye clothe you ,
but there is none warm ;
and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes .
*
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ;
Consider your ways .
*
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 the LORD .
*
Ye looked for much ,
and ,
lo ,
it came to little m @#
at #;
and when ye brought it home ,
I did blow upon it .
Why ?
saith the LORD of hosts .
Because of mine house that is waste ,
and ye run every man unto his own house .
*
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew ,
and the earth is stayed from her fruit .
*
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 men ,
and upon cattle ,
and upon all the labour of the hands .

Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel Sh @#
altiy #
el #,
and Joshua the son of Josedech ,
the high priest ,
with all the remnant of the people ,
obeyed the voice of the LORD their God ,
and the words of Haggai the prophet ,
as the LORD their God had sent him ,
and the people did fear before the LORD .
*
Then spake Haggai the LORDS messenger in the LORDS message unto the people ,
saying ,
I am with you ,
saith the LORD .
*
And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel Sh @#
altiy #
el #,
governor of Judah ,
and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech ,
the high priest ,
and the spirit of all the remnant of the people ;
and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts ,
their God ,
*
In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month ,
in the second year of Darius the king .
