1. In the second[H8147] year[H8141] of Darius[H1867] the king[H4428], in the sixth[H8345] month[H2320], in the first[H259] day[H3117] of the month[H2320], came the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] by[H3027] Haggai[H2292] the prophet[H5030] unto Zerubbabel[H2216] the son[H1121] of Shealtiel[H7597], governor[H6346] of Judah[H3063], and to Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Jehozadak[H3087], the high[H1419] priest[H3548], saying[H559],
2. Thus speaketh[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635], saying[H559], This people[H5971] say[H559], It is not the time[H6256] for us to come[H935], the time[H6256] for Jehovah[H3068]'s house[H1004] to be built[H1129].
3. Then came the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] by[H3027] Haggai[H2292] the prophet[H5030], saying[H559],
4. Is it a time[H6256] for you yourselves to dwell[H3427] in your ceiled[H5603] houses[H1004], while this house[H1004] lieth waste[H2720]?
5. Now therefore thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]: Consider[H7760] your ways[H1870].
6. Ye have sown[H2232] much[H7235], and bring[H935] in little[H4592]; ye eat[H398], but ye have not enough[H7654]; ye drink[H8354], but ye are not filled with drink[H7937]; ye clothe[H3847] you[H2527], but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages[H7936] earneth wages[H7936] to put it into a bag[H6872] with holes[H5344].
7. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]: Consider[H7760] your ways[H1870].
8. Go up[H5927] to the mountain[H2022], and bring[H935] wood[H6086], and build[H1129] the house[H1004]; and I will take pleasure[H7521] in it[H3513], and I will be glorified, saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068].
9. Ye looked[H6437] for much[H7235], and[H4592], lo, it came to little; and when ye brought[H935] it home[H1004], I did blow[H5301] upon it[H5002]. Why? saith Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]. Because[H3282] of my house[H1004] that lieth waste[H2720], while ye run[H7323] every man[H376] to his own house[H1004].
10. Therefore for your sake the heavens[H8064] withhold[H3607] the dew[H2919], and the earth[H776] withholdeth[H3607] its fruit[H2981].
11. And I called[H7121] for a drought[H2721] upon the land[H776], and upon the mountains[H2022], and upon the grain[H1715], and upon the new wine[H8492], and upon the oil[H3323], and upon that which the ground[H127] bringeth forth[H3318], and upon men[H120], and upon cattle[H929], and upon all the labor[H3018] of the hands[H3709].
12. Then Zerubbabel[H2216] the son[H1121] of Shealtiel[H7597], and Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Jehozadak[H3087], the high[H1419] priest[H3548], with all the remnant[H7611] of the people[H5971], obeyed[H8085] the voice[H6963] of Jehovah[H3068] their God[H430], and the words[H1697] of Haggai[H2292] the prophet[H5030], as Jehovah[H3068] their God[H430] had sent[H7971] him[H5971]; and the people did fear[H3372] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068].
13. Then spake[H559] Haggai[H2292] Jehovah[H3068]'s messenger[H4397] in Jehovah[H3068]'s message[H4400] unto the people[H5971], saying[H559], I am with you[H5002], saith Jehovah[H3068].
14. And Jehovah[H3068] stirred up[H5782] the spirit[H7307] of Zerubbabel[H2216] the son[H1121] of Shealtiel[H7597], governor[H6346] of Judah[H3063], and the spirit[H7307] of Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Jehozadak[H3087], the high[H1419] priest[H3548], and the spirit[H7307] of all the remnant[H7611] of the people[H5971]; and they came[H935] and did[H6213] work[H4399] on the house[H1004] of Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635], their God[H430],
15. in the four[H702] and twentieth[H6242] day[H3117] of the month[H8345], in the sixth month[H2320], in the second[H8147] year[H8141] of Darius[H1867] the king[H4428].
