And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet , saying , Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses , while this house lieth waste ? And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Consider your ways . 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 . Thus saith Jehovah 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 Jehovah . 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 . Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew , and the earth withholdeth its 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 man , and upon cattle , and upon all the labour of the hands . 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 . Then spoke Haggai , Jehovah's messenger , in Jehovah's message unto the people , saying , I am with you , saith 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 at the house of Jehovah of hosts , their God , in the four and twentieth day of the sixth month , in the second year of Darius the king . In the seventh [ month ] , on the one and twentieth [ day ] of the month , came the word of Jehovah by the prophet Haggai , 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 as nothing in your eyes ? 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 . The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt , and my Spirit , remain among you : fear ye not . 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 ] ; 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 . The silver is mine , and the gold is mine , saith Jehovah of hosts . 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 . 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 , Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Ask now the priests [ concerning ] the law , saying , 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 . 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 . 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 . 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 , -- 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 . 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 . 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 ] . 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 ] . And the word of Jehovah came the second time unto Haggai on the four and twentieth [ 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 that ride therein ; and the horses and their riders shall come down , every one by the sword of his brother . 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 .
