In
the
seventh

in
the one
and
twentieth
`
day '
of the month, came
the word of Jehovah
by
Haggai the prophet, saying ,
On
the twenty-first
day of the seventh
month, the word of the
LORD
came
through
Haggai the prophet, saying :
Speak now
to Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the
son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people ,
saying
,
“
Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and also
to the remnant of the people .
Ask
them
,
Who is left among you that
saw this house in its former glory? and
how do
ye
see
it now? is
it not in
your
eyes
as
nothing?
‘
Who is left among you who
saw this house in its former glory? How does
it look
to
you
now? Does
it not appear
to
you
like
nothing in
comparison
? ’
Yet
now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith
Jehovah;
and
be strong, O Joshua ,
son of Jehozadak, the high priest ;
and be strong, all ye
people of the land, saith
Jehovah,
and
work :
for I am with you, saith
Jehovah
of hosts ,
But
now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares
the
LORD.
Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest .
And be strong, all you
people of the land, declares
the
LORD.
Work !
For I am with you, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts .
`according
to'
the word
that
I covenanted
with
you when ye
came out of Egypt ,
and my Spirit abode
among you :
fear
ye
not.
This
is
the promise
I made
to
you when you
came out of Egypt .
And My Spirit remains
among you ;
do
not be
afraid
. ”
For thus
saith
Jehovah
of hosts: Yet
once, it
is
a little while, and
I will shake the heavens ,
and the earth, and
the sea ,
and the dry land ;
For this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “
Once more
, in
a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land .
and
I will shake all nations;
and
the precious
things
of
all
nations shall
come ;
and I will fill this house with glory, saith
Jehovah
of hosts.
I will shake all the nations ,
and
they
will
come with
all
their
treasures,
and I will fill this house with glory, says
the
LORD
of Hosts.
The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith
Jehovah
of hosts.
The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts.
The latter glory of this house shall
be greater than the former, saith
Jehovah
of hosts ;
and in this place will
I give
peace, saith
Jehovah
of hosts.
The latter glory of this house will
be greater than the former, says
the
LORD
of Hosts .
And in this place I will
provide
peace, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts. ”
In
the four
and
twentieth
`
day '
of the ninth `
month '
, in the second year of Darius, came
the word of Jehovah
by
Haggai the prophet, saying,
On
the twenty-fourth
day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the
LORD
came
to
Haggai the prophet, saying,
Thus
saith
Jehovah
of hosts: Ask now
the priests concerning
the
law,
saying,
“This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: ‘
Ask the priests for
a
ruling.
If one
bear
holy
flesh
in the skirt
of his garment, and with
his
skirt
do
touch
bread, or
pottage
, or
wine, or
oil, or any food, shall
it
become holy? And
the priests answered
and
said,
No
.
If a
man
carries
consecrated
meat
in the fold
of his garment, and it
touches
bread, stew
, wine, oil, or any other
food, does
that
item
become holy? ’”
“No,”
replied
the priests.
Then
said
Haggai, If one that
is unclean
by reason
of
a dead
body
touch
any of these, shall
it be
unclean
? And
the priests answered and
said,
It
shall
be
unclean
.
So
Haggai asked
, “
If one who
is defiled
by contact
with
a corpse
touches
any of these, does
it become
defiled
? ”
“Yes,
it
becomes
defiled,”
the priests answered.
Then answered
Haggai and
said
, So is this people ,
and so
is
this nation before me, saith
Jehovah;
and so is every work of their hands; and
that
which
they offer there is unclean
.
Then Haggai replied
, “
So it
is with
this people and this nation before Me, declares
the
LORD,
and so it
is with
every work of their hands; whatever
they offer there is defiled
.
And
now ,
I
pray
you,
consider from this day and
backward,
before a
stone was laid
upon
a
stone
in the temple of Jehovah.
Now consider carefully
from this day forward:
Before one
stone was placed
on
another
in the temple of the
LORD,
Through
all
that time, when one came to
a heap of twenty `measures'
, there were but ten ;
when one came to the winevat
to draw out fifty `vessels'
, there were but twenty.
from
that time, when one came expecting
a heap of twenty ephahs
of
grain
, there were but ten .
When one came to the winepress
to draw out fifty baths
, there were but twenty.
I smote
you with
blasting
and
with
mildew
and
with
hail
in
all the work of your hands ;
yet
ye
`turned'
not to me, saith
Jehovah
.
I struck
you —
all the work of your hands —with
blight,
mildew,
and
hail,
but
you
did
not turn
to Me, declares
the
LORD
.
Consider ,
I
pray
you,
from this day and
backward,
from the four
and
twentieth
day of the ninth `
month '
, since
the day that
the foundation of Jehovah's
temple was laid ,
consider it.
Consider carefully
from this day forward—
from the twenty-fourth
day of the ninth month, the day the foundation of the
LORD’s
temple was laid —
consider carefully:
Is the
seed yet
in the barn? yea,
the vine, and
the fig -tree
, and
the pomegranate, and the olive -
tree have not brought
forth;
from this day will
I bless `
you '
.
Is there
still
seed in the barn? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet
yielded
fruit.
But
from this day on,
I will
bless you. ”
And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
the second time unto
Haggai
in
the four
and
twentieth
`
day '
of the month, saying,
For
the second time that
day,
the twenty-fourth
day of the month, the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
Haggai,
saying,
Speak
to
Zerubbabel ,
governor of Judah ,
saying,
I will
shake the heavens and the earth ;
“Tell
Zerubbabel governor of Judah that
I am
about
to
shake the heavens and the earth :
and
I will overthrow
the
throne
of
kingdoms;
and I
will
destroy the strength
of the kingdoms of the nations ;
and
I will overthrow
the
chariots ,
and those
that
ride
in
them
; and
the
horses and their riders shall
come
down
, every
one
by the sword of his brother.
I will overturn
royal
thrones
and destroy the power
of the kingdoms of the nations .
I will overturn
chariots and their
riders
; horses and their riders will
fall
, each
by the sword of his brother.
In
that day, saith
Jehovah
of hosts, will
I take thee,
O
Zerubbabel
, my servant, the
son of Shealtiel, saith
Jehovah
, and will make thee
as
a
signet ;
for I have chosen thee
, saith
Jehovah
of hosts.
On
that day, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts, I will
take you
, My servant, Zerubbabel
son of Shealtiel, declares
the
LORD
, and I
will make you
like
My
signet ring,
for I have chosen you
, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts. ”
