1. In the seventh[H7637] month[H259], in the one and twentieth[H6242] day of the month[H2320], came the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] by[H3027] Haggai[H2292] the prophet[H5030], saying[H559],

2. Speak[H559] now to 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], and to the remnant[H7611] of the people[H5971], saying[H559],

3. Who is left[H7604] among you that saw[H7200] this house[H1004] in its former[H7223] glory[H3519]? and how do ye see[H7200] it now[H5869]? is it not in your eyes as nothing[H3644]?

4. Yet now be strong[H2388], O Zerubbabel[H2216], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068]; and be strong[H2388], O Joshua[H3091], son[H1121] of Jehozadak[H3087], the high[H1419] priest[H3548]; and be strong[H2388], all ye people[H5971] of the land[H776], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], and work[H6213]: for I am with you[H5002], saith Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635],

5. according to the word[H1697] that I covenanted[H3772] with you when ye came[H3318] out of Egypt[H4714], and my Spirit[H7307] abode[H5975] among[H8432] you[H3372]: fear ye not.

6. For thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]: Yet once[H259], it is a little while[H4592], and I will shake[H7493] the heavens[H8064], and the earth[H776], and the sea[H3220], and the dry land[H2724];

7. and I will shake[H7493] all nations[H1471]; and the precious things of all nations[H1471] shall come[H935]; and I will fill[H4390] this house[H1004] with glory[H3519], saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635].

8. The silver[H3701] is mine[H2091], and the gold is mine[H5002], saith Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635].

9. The latter[H314] glory[H3519] of this house[H1004] shall be greater than[H1419] the former[H7223], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]; and in this place[H4725] will I give[H5414] peace[H7965], saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635].

10. In the four[H702] and twentieth[H6242] day of the ninth[H8671] month[H8147], in the second year[H8141] of Darius[H1867], came the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] by[H3027] Haggai[H2292] the prophet[H5030], saying[H559],

11. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635]: Ask[H7592] now the priests[H3548] concerning the law[H8451], saying[H559],

12. If one[H376] bear[H5375] holy[H6944] flesh[H1320] in the skirt[H3671] of his garment[H899], and with his skirt[H3671] do touch[H5060] bread[H3899], or pottage[H5138], or wine[H3196], or oil[H8081], or any food[H3978], shall it become holy[H6942]? And the priests[H3548] answered[H6030] and said[H559], No.

13. Then said[H559] Haggai[H2292], If one that is unclean[H2931] by reason of a dead body[H5315] touch[H5060] any of these[H2930], shall it be unclean? And the priests[H3548] answered[H6030] and said[H559], It shall be unclean[H2930].

14. Then answered[H6030] Haggai[H2292] and said[H559], So is this people[H5971], and so is this nation[H1471] before[H6440] me[H5002], saith Jehovah[H3068]; and so is every work[H4639] of their hands[H3027]; and that which they offer[H7126] there is unclean[H2931].

15. And now[H7760], I pray you, consider from this day[H3117] and backward[H4605], before[H2962] a stone[H68] was laid[H7760] upon a stone[H68] in the temple[H1964] of Jehovah[H3068].

16. Through all that time[H935], when one came to a heap[H6194] of twenty[H6242] measures[H6235], there were but ten; when one came[H935] to the winevat[H3342] to draw out[H2834] fifty[H2572] vessels[H6333], there were but twenty[H6242].

17. I smote[H5221] you with blasting[H7711] and with mildew[H3420] and with hail[H1259] in all the work[H4639] of your hands[H3027]; yet ye turned not to me[H5002], saith Jehovah[H3068].

18. Consider[H7760], I pray you[H3117], from this day and backward[H4605], from the four[H702] and twentieth[H6242] day[H3117] of the ninth[H8671] month[H3117], since the day that the foundation[H3245] of Jehovah[H3068]'s temple[H1964] was laid[H7760], consider it.

19. Is the seed[H2233] yet in the barn[H4035]? yea[H1612], the vine, and the fig-tree[H6086], and the pomegranate[H7416], and the olive[H8384] - tree[H8384] have not brought forth[H5375]; from this day[H3117] will I bless you[H1288].

20. And the word[H1697] of Jehovah[H3068] came the second[H8145] time unto Haggai[H2292] in the four[H702] and twentieth[H6242] day of the month[H2320], saying[H559],

21. Speak[H559] to Zerubbabel[H2216], governor[H6346] of Judah[H3063], saying[H559], I will shake[H7493] the heavens[H8064] and the earth[H776];

22. and I will overthrow[H2015] the throne[H3678] of kingdoms[H4467]; and I will destroy[H8045] the strength[H2392] of the kingdoms[H4467] of the nations[H1471]; and I will overthrow[H2015] the chariots[H4818], and those that ride[H7392] in them[H5483]; and the horses and their riders[H7392] shall come down[H3381], every one[H376] by the sword[H2719] of his brother[H251].

23. In that day[H3117], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635], will I take[H3947] thee[H2216], O Zerubbabel, my servant[H5650], the son[H1121] of Shealtiel[H7597], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], and will make[H7760] thee as a signet[H2368]; for I have chosen[H977] thee[H5002], saith Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635].
