CHAP. I. 1 Haggai reproveth the people for neglecting the building of the house: 7 He inciteth them to the building: 12 He promiseth God's assistance to them being forward.


1   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 note by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, note governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,


2   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.


3   Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying,


4   Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?


5   Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; note Consider your ways.


6   Ye have note sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag note with holes.


7   ¶2; Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.


8   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.


9   Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did note blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that is waste, and ye run every man to his own house.


10   Therefore note the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.


11   And I called for a drouth 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 labor of the hands.


12   ¶2; Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with 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.


13   Then spoke Haggai the Lord's messenger in the Lord's message to the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord.


14   And 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 performed work in the house of the Lord of hosts, their God,


15   In the four and twentieth day of the same month, in the second year of Darius the king.
