\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 the son of Shealtiel, and to the high priest Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, and said,
|
|
\v 2 "Yahweh of hosts says this: 'This people says, "It is not time for us to come or to build Yahweh's house."'"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 3 And so the word of Yahweh came by the hand of Haggai the prophet and said,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your finished houses,
|
|
\q while this house lies ruined?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 So now Yahweh of hosts says this:
|
|
\q 'Consider your ways!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 You have sown much seed, but bring in little harvest; you eat but do not have enough;
|
|
\q you drink but cannot get drunk. You wear clothes but cannot warm yourselves,
|
|
\q and the wage earner earns money only to put it into a bag full of holes!'
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Yahweh of hosts says this:
|
|
\q 'Consider your ways!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Go up to the mountain, bring timber, and build my house;
|
|
\q then I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified!' says Yahweh.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 'You looked for much, but behold! you have brought little home, for I blew it away!
|
|
\q Why?'—this is Yahweh of hosts' declaration!
|
|
\q 'Because my house lies in ruins, while every man takes pleasure in his own house.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Because of this the heavens withhold the dew from you, and the earth withholds its produce.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 I have summoned a drought upon the land and upon the mountains, upon the grain
|
|
\q and upon the new wine, upon the oil and upon the harvest of the earth,
|
|
\q upon men and upon beasts, and upon all the labor of your hands!'"
|
|
|
|
\s5

|
\v 12 Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and the high priest Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, 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 the son of Shealtiel, and the spirit of the high priest Joshua, the son
|
|
of Jehozadak, 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.
