* In the seventh [month ], in the twenty-first [day ] of the month , the word of LORD came by Haggai the prophet , saying , * 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 , * Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory ? And how do ye see it now ? Is it not in your eyes as nothing ? * Yet now be strong , O Zerubbabel , says LORD , and be strong , O Joshua , son of Jehozadak , the high priest , and be strong , all ye people of the land , says LORD , and work . For I am with you , says LORD of hosts , * [according to ] the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt , and my Spirit abode among you . Fear ye not . * For thus says LORD 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 . * And I will shake all nations , and the precious things of all nations shall come , and I will fill this house with glory , says LORD of hosts . * The silver is mine , and the gold is mine , says LORD of hosts . * The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former , says LORD of hosts , and in this place I will give peace , says LORD of hosts . * In the twenty-fourth [day ] of the ninth [month ], in the second year of Darius , the word of LORD came by Haggai the prophet , saying , * Thus says LORD of hosts : Ask now the priests concerning the law , saying , * If a man bears holy flesh in the skirt of his garment , and with his skirt touches bread , or pottage , or wine , or oil , or any food , shall it become holy ? And the priests answered and said , No . * Then Haggai said , If a man who is unclean because of a dead body touches any of these , shall it be unclean ? And the priests answered and said , It shall be unclean . * Then Haggai answered and said , So is this people , and so is this nation before me , says LORD , and so is every work of their hands . And that which they offer there is unclean . * And now , I pray you , consider from this day and backward , before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of LORD . * Through all that time , when a man came to a heap of twenty [measures ], there were but ten . When he came to the wine vat to draw out fifty [vessels ], there were but twenty . * I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the work of your hands , yet ye [turned ] not to me , says LORD . * Consider , I pray you , from this day and backward , from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month ], since the day that the foundation of LORD 's temple was laid , consider it . * 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 I will bless [you ]. * And the word of LORD came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth [day ] of the month , saying , * Speak to Zerubbabel , governor of Judah , saying , I will shake the heavens and the earth . * 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 who ride in them . And the horses and their riders shall come down , each one b * In that day , says LORD of hosts , I will take thee , O Zerubbabel , my servant , the son of Shealtiel , says LORD , and will make thee as a signet . For I have chosen thee , says LORD of hosts .
