\p
|
|
\v 1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month,
|
|
the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,
|
|
and to the high priest Joshua son of Jozadak, saying,
|
|
\v 2 "Yahweh of hosts says this: These people say, 'It is not time for us to come or to build the house of Yahweh.'"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 3 Then the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
|
|
\v 4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your finished houses, while this house lies ruined?
|
|
\v 5 So now Yahweh of hosts says this: Consider your ways!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 You have sown much seed, but bring in little;
|
|
\q2 you eat but do not have enough;
|
|
\q you drink but cannot get drunk.
|
|
\q2 You wear clothes but cannot warm yourselves,
|
|
\q and the wage earner earns money
|
|
\q2 only to put it into a bag full of holes!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 7 Yahweh of hosts says this: "Consider your ways!
|
|
\v 8 Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build my house;
|
|
then I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified!—says Yahweh."
|
|
\v 9 "You looked for much, but behold! you have brought little home, for I blew it away!
|
|
Why?" declares Yahweh of hosts. "Because my house lies in ruins,
|
|
while every one of you runs to his own house.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 10 Because of this the heavens withhold the dew from you, and the earth withholds its produce.
|
|
\v 11 I have summoned a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, upon the grain
|
|
and upon the new wine, upon the oil and upon what the earth sends forth,
|
|
upon men and upon animals, and upon all the labor of your hands!"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and the high priest Joshua son of Jozadak,
|
|
along with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Yahweh their God
|
|
and the words of Haggai the prophet, because Yahweh their God had sent him
|
|
and the people feared the face of Yahweh.
|
|
\v 13 Then Haggai, the messenger of Yahweh, spoke Yahweh's message to the people and said,
|
|
"I am with you!—this is Yahweh's declaration!"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 14 So Yahweh stirred up the spirit of the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,
|
|
and the spirit of the high priest Joshua son of Jozadak, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people,
|
|
so that they went and worked on the house of Yahweh of hosts, their God
|
|
\v 15 in the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
|
|
|
|
\s5

\c 2

\p
|
|
\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, saying,
|
|
\v 2 "Speak to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,
|
|
and to the high priest Joshua son of Jozadak, and to the remnant of the people. Say,
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 3 'Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory?
|
|
How do you see it now? Is it not like nothing in your eyes?
|
|
\v 4 Now, be strong, Zerubbabel!—this is Yahweh's declaration—
|
|
and be strong, high priest Joshua son of Jozadak; and be strong, all you people in the land!
|
|
—this is Yahweh's declaration—and work, for I am with you!—
|
|
this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
|
|
\v 5 This is the covenant that I established with you when you came out of Egypt,
|
|
and my Spirit stands among you. Do not fear!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 6 For Yahweh of hosts says this: In a little while
|
|
I will once again shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land!
|
|
\v 7 I will shake every nation, and every nation will bring their precious things to me,
|
|
and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of hosts.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 8 The silver and gold are mine!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
|
|
\v 9 The glory of this house will be greater in the future than at the beginning, says Yahweh of hosts,
|
|
and I will give peace in this place!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts."
|
|
|
|
\s5

\p
|
|
\v 10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius,
|
|
the word of Yahweh came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
|
|
\v 11 "Yahweh of hosts says this: Ask the priests concerning the law, and say,
|
|
\v 12 'If a man carries meat that is set apart to Yahweh in the fold of his garment,
|
|
and the fold touches bread or stew, wine or oil, or any kind of food, does it become holy?'"
|
|
|
|
\p
|
|
The priests answered and said, "No."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\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."
|
|
|
|
\p
|
|
\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 the work of their hands. What they offer to me is unclean!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 15 So now, think in your minds about the past leading up to this very day.
|
|
Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of Yahweh,
|
|
\v 16 how was it then? When you came to a heap of twenty measures of grain,
|
|
there were only ten; and when you came to the wine vat to draw out fifty measures,
|
|
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 the temple of Yahweh 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 borne! But from this day will I bless you!"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\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.
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 22 For I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms
|
|
\q and destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations!
|
|
\q2 I will overthrow the chariots and their riders;
|
|
\q the horses and their riders will fall down,
|
|
\q2 each one because of his brother's sword.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 23 On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—
|
|
I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, as my servant—this is Yahweh's declaration.
|
|
I will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you!—
|
|
this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts!'"
