* In the second year of Darius the king , in the sixth month , in the first day of the month , the Word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel , the son of Shealtiel , governor of Judah ; and to Joshua , the son of Jehozadak , the high priest , saying , * Thus says Jehovah of Hosts , saying , This people says , The time has not come , the time for the house of Jehovah to be built . * Then the Word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet , saying , * Is it time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses , and this house to lie waste ? * And now , thus says Jehovah of Hosts : Set your heart on your ways . * You have sown much , and bring in little ; you eat , but do not have enough ; you drink , but are not filled with drink ; you put on clothes , but no one is warm . And , one hiring himself out earns wages for a bag of holes . * Thus says Jehovah of Hosts : Set your heart on your ways . * Go up to the mountain and bring wood and build this house . And I will be pleased with it , and I will be glorified , says Jehovah . * You looked for much , and , lo , it came to little . And when you brought it home , then I blew on it . Why ? says Jehovah of Hosts . Because of My house that is in ruins , and you , each man , runs to his own house . * On account of this , the heavens above you hold back the dew , and the earth holds back her fruit . * And I called for a drought in the land , and on the mountains , and on the grain , and on the new wine , and on the oil , and on that which the ground brings forth , and on man , and on livestock , and on all the labor of your hands . * Then Zerubbabel , the son of Shealtiel , and Joshua , the son of Jehozadak , the high priest , and all the remnant of the people , obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God , and the words of Haggai the prophet , as Jehovah their God had sent him . And the people feared before Jehovah . * And Haggai , the messenger of Jehovah , spoke the message of Jehovah to the people , saying , I am with you , says Jehovah . * 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 on the house of Jehovah of Hosts , their God , * in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month , in the second year of Darius the king .
