Book 37 Haggai37:001:001 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, 37:001:002 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. 37:001:003 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, 37:001:004 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and 37:001:005 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your 37:001:006 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. 37:001:007 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. 37:001:008 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. 37:001:009 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. 37:001:010 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 37:001:011 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the 37:001:012 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of 37:001:013 Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. 37:001:014 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, 37:001:015 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. 37:002:001 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the 37:002:002 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of 37:002:003 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? 37:002:004 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: 37:002:005 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. 37:002:006 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little 37:002:007 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations 37:002:008 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. 37:002:009 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the 37:002:010 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the 37:002:011 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, 37:002:012 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with 37:002:013 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch 37:002:014 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is 37:002:015 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from 37:002:016 Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty. 37:002:017 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all 37:002:018 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and 37:002:019 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig 37:002:020 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four 37:002:021 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake 37:002:022 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; 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. 37:002:023 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts. ********** This eBook was produced by David Widger See above the credits to previous producers of this text.
