In
the
seventh
`month',
in
the twenty and
first of the month, hath
a
word of Jehovah
been
by
the hand
of
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 ,
I
pray
thee,
unto
Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto
Joshua ,
son of Josedech
, the high priest, and unto
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 among you hath
been
left
that
saw this house in its former honour
? And
what
are
ye
seeing
it now? Is
it not ,
compared
with
it,
as
nothing in your
eyes
?
‘
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
? ’
And
now ,
be strong, O Zerubbabel, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
And
be strong, O Joshua ,
son of Josedech
, the high priest ,
And be strong, all ye
people of the land, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
And
do
ye
--
(
for I `
am '
with you, An
affirmation
of
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 .
The thing
that
I covenanted
with
you ,
In
your
coming
forth
from
Egypt ,
And My Spirit is
remaining
in
your
midst,
fear
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
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Yet
once more --
it
`is'
a little, And
I am
shaking
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 have
shaken
all the nations, And they have
come `to'
the
desire
of
all the
nations
, And I have
filled
this house `
with '
honour
, Said
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.
Mine
`is'
the silver, and Mine
the gold, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
of Hosts.
The silver is
Mine
, and the gold is
Mine
, declares
the
LORD
of Hosts.
Greater
is
the honour
of this latter
house ,
Than of
the former, said
Jehovah
of Hosts ,
And in this place do
I give
peace, An
affirmation
of
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. ”
On the twenty and
fourth of the ninth `
month '
, in the second year of Darius, hath
a
word of Jehovah
been
by
the hand
of
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
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: `
Ask ,
I
pray
thee,
the priests `of'
the
law,
saying:
“This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: ‘
Ask the priests for
a
ruling.
Lo,
one
doth
carry
holy
flesh
in the skirt
of his garment, and he
hath
come
with
his
skirt
against
the
bread, or
against
the
pottage
, or
against
the
wine, or
against
the
oil, or against
any food --
is
it
holy? '
And
the priests answer
and
say,
`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.
And
Haggai saith
, `
If the
unclean
of
body
doth
come
against
any of these, is
it unclean
? '
And
the
priests
answer
and
say
, `
It is
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
.
And
Haggai answereth
and
saith
, `
So `
is '
this people ,
and so
`is'
this nation before Me --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
and so `
is '
every work of their hands ,
and
that
which
they bring
near
there --
it
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 ,
lay
`it',
I
pray
you,
to
your
heart,
From this day ,
and
onwards,
Before the
laying
of
stone
to
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,
From that time `
one '
hath
come
to
a heap of twenty, And
it
hath
been
ten ,
He
hath
come
unto
the wine-fat
to draw out fifty purahs
, And
it
hath
been
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 have
smitten
you with
blasting,
And
with
mildew,
and
with
hail
--
All the work of your hands, And there
is
none
of
you with
Me, An
affirmation
of
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
.
Set
`it',
I
pray
you,
to
your
heart,
from this day and
onwards,
from the twenty and
fourth day of the ninth `
month '
, even
from
the day that
the temple
of Jehovah
hath
been
founded,
set
`it'
to
your
heart.
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? And
hitherto
the vine and
the fig, And
the pomegranate, and the olive -
tree ,
Have not borne
--
from this day I bless. '
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
there
is
a
word
of
Jehovah
a
second time unto
Haggai
, on
the twenty and
fourth 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
unto
Zerubbabel governor of Judah ,
saying:
I am shaking
the heavens and the earth ,
“Tell
Zerubbabel governor of Judah that
I am about
to
shake
the heavens and the earth :
And have
overturned
the throne
of kingdoms,
And
I
have
destroyed
the strength
of
kingdoms of the nations ,
And
overturned
chariot
and
its
charioteers,
And come
down
have
horses and their riders, Each 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 --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
of Hosts, I take thee
, Zerubbabel
, son of Shealtiel, My
servant
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And have
set
thee
as
a
signet, for on
thee
I have fixed
, An
affirmation
of
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 .”
