Haggai  


2 : 1 On the twenty-first of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet saying,
2 : 2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people saying,
2 : 3 `Who is left among you who saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Does it not seem to you like nothing in comparison?
2 : 4 `But now take courage, Zerubbabel,` declares the LORD, `take courage also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all you people of the land take courage,` declares the LORD, `and work; for I am with you,` declares the LORD of hosts.
2 : 5 `As for the promise which I made you when you came out of Egypt, My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear!`
2 : 6 For thus says the LORD of hosts, `Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land.
2 : 7 `I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,` says the LORD of hosts.
2 : 8 `The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,` declares the LORD of hosts.
2 : 9 `The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,` says the LORD of hosts, `and in this place I will give peace,` declares the LORD of hosts."
2 : 10 On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Haggai the prophet, saying,
2 : 11 Thus says the LORD of hosts, `Ask now the priests for a ruling:
2 : 12 `If a man carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and touches bread with this fold, or cooked food, wine, oil, or any other food, will it become holy?`" And the priests answered, "No."
2 : 13 Then Haggai said, "If one who is unclean from a corpse touches any of these, will the latter become unclean?" And the priests answered, "It will become unclean."
2 : 14 Then Haggai said, " `So is this people. And so is this nation before Me,` declares the LORD, `and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.
2 : 15 `But now, do consider from this day onward: before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the LORD,
2 : 16 from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there would be only twenty.
2 : 17 `I smote you and every work of your hands with blasting wind, mildew and hail; yet you did not come back to Me,` declares the LORD.
2 : 18 `Do consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the LORD was founded, consider:
2 : 19 `Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree, it has not borne fruit. Yet from this day on I will bless you.`"
2 : 20 Then the word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
2 : 21 Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, `I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.
2 : 22 `I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the horses and their riders will go down, everyone by the sword of another.`
2 : 23 `On that day,` declares the LORD of hosts, `I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,` declares the LORD, `and I will make you like a signet ring, for I have chosen you,`" declares the LORD of hosts.
