Berean Standard Bible
In the second year of Darius
the king,
in
the
sixth
month
, in
the first day of the month, hath
a
word of Jehovah
been
by
the hand
of
Haggai the prophet ,
unto
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto
Joshua son of Josedech
, the high priest, saying:
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
Thus
spake
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
saying
: This
people !
--
they
have
said
, `
The time hath
not come ,
The
time
the house of Jehovah
`is'
to
be
built
. '
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
. ’”
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
by
the hand
of
Haggai the prophet, saying:
Then
the
word of the LORD
came
through
Haggai the prophet, saying:
Is it time for you --
you!
To dwell
in your covered
houses, And
this house to
lie
waste
?
“
Is it a
time for you yourselves
to live
in your paneled
houses, while
this house lies
in
ruins
? ”
And
now ,
thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
Set
your
heart
to
your ways.
Now this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says:
“Consider
carefully
your ways.
Ye
have sown
much ,
and
brought
in
little ,
To
eat ,
and
not
to
satiety,
To
drink ,
and
not
to
drunkenness,
To clothe,
and
none
hath
heat,
And
he
who
is
hiring
himself
out,
Is
hiring
himself
for
a bag pierced through.
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. ”
Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Set
your
heart
to
your ways.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “Consider
carefully
your ways.
Go up the mountain
, and
ye
have
brought
in
wood
, And build the house, and
I am
pleased
with
it .
And I
am
honoured
, said
Jehovah
.
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
.
Looking
for
much, and
lo
, little ,
And ye
brought `it'
home, and
I blew on
it,
Wherefore
? --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
Because of
My house that
is
waste
, And
ye
are
running
--
each to
his house ,
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 .
Therefore, over
you refrained
have
the heavens from
dew ,
And the land
hath
refrained
its increase
.
Therefore, on
account
of
you the heavens have
withheld
their
dew and the earth
has
withheld
its crops
.
And
I proclaim
draught
on the land,
And on the mountains, and
on the corn
, And
on
the
new wine, and on
the
oil, And on what
the ground doth
bring
forth
, And
on man ,
and on
beast, And on all labour
of
the hands. '
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
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel ,
and Joshua son of Josedech
, the high priest, and
all the remnant of the people, do
hearken
to
the voice of Jehovah
their God ,
and unto
the words of Haggai
the prophet, as
Jehovah
their God had sent him ,
and
the people are
afraid
of
the face
of
Jehovah
.
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
.
And
Haggai, messenger of Jehovah
, in
messages
of Jehovah,
speaketh
to the people ,
saying
: `
I `
am '
with you, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
Haggai, the
messenger of the
LORD
, delivered
the
message
of the
LORD
to the people: “
I am with you, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
And
Jehovah
doth
stir
up
the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Josedech
, the high priest, and
the spirit of all the remnant of the people ,
and they come
in,
and do
work in
the house of Jehovah
of Hosts their God,
So
the LORD
stirred
the
spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak
, the high priest, as
well
as
the spirit of all the remnant of the people .
And they came
and began
the
work on
the house of the
LORD
of Hosts ,
their God,
in
the twenty and
fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius
the
king.
on
the twenty -
fourth day of the sixth month, in the second year of King Darius
.
