King James VersionHaggai1

Haggai

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 by Hag­gai the prophet unto Zerub­ba­bel the son of Shealtiel, 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 cieled hous­es, and this house lie waste? 5 Now there­fore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Con­sid­er your ways. 6 Ye have sown much, and bring in lit­tle; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that ear­neth wages ear­neth wages ­to put it into a bag with holes. 7 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 blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Be­cause of mine house that is waste, and ye run ev­ery man unto his own house. 10 There­fore the heav­en over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 11 And I called for a drought 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 labour of the hands. 12 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 spake Hag­gai the LORD'S mes­sen­ger in the LORD'S mes­sage unto 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 did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, 15 In the four and twen­ti­eth day of the sixth month, in the sec­ond year of Dar­ius the king.
