King James Version
In the second year of the
reign
of
Darius, on
the first day of the sixth
month, the word of the LORD came
through
Haggai the prophet to
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak
, the high priest, stating
In the second year of Darius the
king
, in
the sixth
month,
in
the
first day of the month, came
the word of the LORD by
Haggai the prophet unto
Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the
son of Josedech
, the high priest, saying,
that
this
is
what
the LORD of Hosts says:
“These
people say, ‘
The time has
not yet
come to
rebuild
the house
of
the LORD
. ’”
Thus
speaketh
the LORD of hosts ,
saying,
This
people say, The time is
not come ,
the time
that
the LORD's
house
should
be
built
.
Then the word of the LORD came
through
Haggai the prophet, saying :
Then came
the word of the LORD by
Haggai the prophet, saying ,
“
Is it a
time for you yourselves
to live
in your paneled
houses, while
this house lies
in
ruins
? ”
Is it time for you ,
O
ye,
to dwell
in your cieled
houses, and
this house lie
waste
?
Now this
is
what
the LORD of Hosts says:
“
Consider carefully
your ways.
Now therefore
thus
saith
the LORD of hosts ;
Consider your ways.
You
have planted
much but
harvested
little .
You
eat but never
have enough .
You
drink but never
have
your
fill.
You put
on
clothes
but never
get
warm .
You
earn
wages to put into a bag pierced
through
. ”
Ye
have sown
much ,
and
bring
in
little ;
ye
eat ,
but ye
have not
enough ;
ye
drink ,
but ye
are
not
filled
with
drink;
ye
clothe
you ,
but there
is
none
warm ;
and
he
that
earneth
wages earneth
wages
to put it
into a bag with
holes
.
This
is
what
the LORD of Hosts says:
“
Consider carefully
your ways.
Thus
saith
the LORD of hosts ;
Consider your ways.
Go up into
the hills
, bring down
lumber
, and build the house ,
so
that
I may
take pleasure in it and be glorified, says
the LORD.
Go up to
the mountain
, and
bring wood
, and build the house ;
and
I will
take pleasure in it ,
and I
will
be glorified, saith
the LORD.
You
expected
much, but
behold
, it amounted
to little .
And what
you
brought home, I blew
away
. Why? declares
the LORD of Hosts. Because My
house
still
lies
in
ruins,
while
each
of you
is busy
with
his own house.
Ye
looked
for
much, and
, lo
it came
to little ;
and when
ye
brought it
home, I did
blow
upon
it
. Why? saith
the LORD of hosts. Because of mine
house
that
is waste,
and
ye
run
every
man
unto
his own house.
Therefore ,
on
account
of
you
the heavens
have
withheld
their
dew and the earth has
withheld
its
crops
.
Therefore the heaven
over
you
is
stayed
from
dew ,
and the earth is
stayed
from
her
fruit
.
I have
summoned
a drought on
the fields
and on
the mountains, on
the grain
, new wine, and oil, and on
whatever
the ground yields
, on
man
and beast
, and on
all the labor
of your
hands. ”
And
I called
for
a drought upon
the land,
and upon
the mountains, and
upon
the corn
, and
upon
the
new wine, and upon
the
oil, and upon
that
which
the ground bringeth
forth
, and upon
men
, and upon
cattle,
and
upon
all the labour
of the
hands.
Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jehozadak
, the high priest, as
well
as
all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the words of the prophet Haggai
, because
the LORD their God had sent him .
So
the people feared
the LORD.
Then Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel ,

all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God ,
and the words of Haggai
the prophet, as
the LORD their God had sent him ,
and
the people did
fear
before
the LORD.
Haggai ,
the messenger of
the
LORD,
delivered
the message of
the
LORD
to
the people :
“
I am with you, ”

the LORD.
Then
spake
Haggai the LORD's
messenger in
the LORD's
message unto
the people ,

I am with you, saith
the LORD.
So
the LORD stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak

the
work on
the house of the LORD of Hosts, their God,

the LORD stirred up
the spirit of Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the
son of Josedech
, the high priest, and
the spirit of all the remnant of the people ;
and they came and did
work in
the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
on
the twenty-fourth
day of the sixth month, in the second year of King
Darius.
In
the four
and
twentieth
