Chap. I. note The Iewes building to themselues excellent houses, are iustly reprehended for not building the Temple of God. 10. VVhich is the cause of the barrennes, sicknes, and other euils. 12. VVherupon they vndertake the holie worke.

1   In the second yeare of Darius the king, the sixth moneth, in the first day of the moneth: the word of our Lord was made in the hand of Aggeus the prophet, to noteZorobabel the s&obar;ne of Salathiel, duke of Iuda, & to noteIesus the sonne of Iosedec the grandpriest saing

2   Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, saying: This people sayth:

-- --

noteThe time is not yet come of building the house of our Lord.

3   And the word of our Lord was made in the hand of Aggeus the prophete, saying:

4   Why is it time for you to dwel in embowed houses, and this house desert?

5   And now thus sayth the Lord of hostes? Set your hartes vpon your wayes.

6   You haue sowed much, and brought in litle: you haue eaten, and haue not bene filled: you haue drunke, and haue not bene inebriated: you haue couered your selues, & haue not bene warmed: and he that hath gathered the wages, put them into a broken bag.

7   Thus sayth the Lord of hosts: Set your harts vpon your wayes:

8   go vp into the mountayne, carie timber, and build the house: and it shal be acceptable to me, and I shal be glorified, sayth our Lord.

9   You haue looked for more, and behold it became lesse, and you brought it into the house, and I puft at it: for what cause sayth the Lord of hosts? because my house is desert, and you hasten euerie man into his owne house.

10   For this cause were the heauens stayed ouer you that they gaue no dew, and the earth was prohibited that it yelded not her spring:

11   and I called a drought vpon the earth, & vpon the montaines, and vpon the wheate, and vpon the wine, and vpon the oile, and what thinges soeuer the ground brought forth, & vpon men, & vpon beastes, & vpon al the labour of the handes.

12   And Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel, and Iesus the sonne of Iosedec the high priest, & al the remnant of the people heard the voice of their God, & the wordes of Aggeus the prophet as our Lord their God sent him to them: & the people feared at the face of our Lord.

13   And Aggeus the messenger of our Lord, noteof the messengers of our Lord spake, saying to the people: I am with you, sayth our Lord.

14   And our Lord raysed vp the spirit of Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel duke of Iuda, and the spirit of Iesus the sonne of Iosedec the grand priest, and the spirit of the rest of al the people: and they went in, and did the worke in the house of the Lord of hostes their God.
