\v 1 In the seventh month on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, and said,
|
|
\v 2 "Speak to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua, the son of Jehozadak; and to the remnant of the people. Say,

|
|
\v 3 'Who is left among you
|
|
\q who saw this house in its former glory?
|
|
\q And how do you see it now?
|
|
\q Is it not like nothing in your eyes?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Now, be strong, Zerubbabel!' —this is Yahweh's declaration—
|
|
\q 'and be strong, high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak;
|
|
\q and be strong, all you people in the land!'—this is Yahweh's declaration—
|
|
\q 'and work, for I am with you!'—this is Yahweh of hosts' declaration.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 'By the promises contained in the covenant that I established with you when you came out of Egypt
|
|
\q and my Spirit stood among you, do not fear!'
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 For Yahweh of hosts says this: 'In a little while
|
|
\q I will once again shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 And I will shake every nation, and every nation will bring their precious things to me,
|
|
\q and I will fill this house with glory!' says Yahweh of hosts.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 'The silver and gold are mine!'—this is Yahweh of Host's declaration.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 'The glory of this house will be greater in the future than at the beginning,' says Yahweh of hosts,
|
|
\q 'and I will give peace in this place!'—this is Yahweh of hosts' declaration."

\v 10 In the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh came by Haggai the prophet and said,
|
|
\v 11 "Yahweh of hosts says this: 'Ask the priests concerning the law, and say:
|
|
\v 12 If a man carries meat that is dedicated to Yahweh in the folds of his garment, and if he touches the fold to bread or stew, wine or oil, or
|
|
any other food, does that food become holy?'" The priests answered and said, "No."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 13 Then Haggai said, "If someone who is unclean because of death touches any of these things, do they become unclean?" The
|
|
priests answered and said, "Yes, they become unclean."
|
|
\v 14 So Haggai answered and said, "'So it is with this people and this nation before me!'—this is Yahweh's declaration—'and so it is with everything done by their hands: what they offer to me is unclean.
|

|
\s5
|
|
\v 15 So now, consider from this day forward, before any stone was laid on another stone in the temple of Yahweh,
|
|
\v 16 whenever anyone came to the grainery for twenty measures of grain, there were only ten, and whenever someone came to the
|
|
wine vat to draw out fifty measures of wine, there were only twenty.
|
|
\v 17 I afflicted you and all the work of your hands with blight and mildew, but you still did not turn to me'—this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 18 'Consider from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of Yahweh's temple was laid. Consider it!
|
|
\v 19 Is there still seed in the storehouse? The vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not produced! But from this day will I bless you!'"

\s5

|
|
\v 20 Then the word of Yahweh came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month and said,
|
|
\v 21 "Speak to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, and say,
|
|
\q 'I will shake the heavens and the earth.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 for I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms and destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations!
|
|
\q I will overthrow the chariots and their riders; the horses and their riders will fall down, each one because of his brother's sword.
|
|
|
|
\s5

|
\q2
|
|
\v 23 On that day'—this is Yahweh of hosts' declaration—'I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, as my servant'—this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
\q2 'I will set you like the seal on my ring, for it is you that I have chosen!'
|
|
\q2 —this is Yahweh of Host's declaration!"
