1 In the second 8147 year 8141 of Darius 1867 the king 4428, in the sixth 8345 month 2320, in the first 259 day 3117 of the month 2320, came the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 by 3027 Haggai 2292 the prophet 5030 unto Zerubbabel 2216 the son 1121 of Shealtiel 7597, governor 6346 of Judah 3063, and to Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Josedech 3087, the high 1419 priest 3548, saying 559,
2 Thus speaketh 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, saying 559, This people 5971 say 559, The time 6256 is not come 935, the time 6256 that the LORD'S 3068 house 1004 should be built 1129.
3 Then came the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 by 3027 Haggai 2292 the prophet 5030, saying 559,
4 Is it time 6256 for you, O ye, to dwell 3427 in your cieled 5603 houses 1004, and this house 1004 lie waste 2720?
5 Now therefore thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; Consider 7760 3824 your ways 1870.
6 Ye have sown 2232 much 7235, and bring 935 in little 4592; ye eat 398, but ye have not enough 7654; ye drink 8354, but ye are not filled with drink 7937; ye clothe 3847 you, but there is none warm 2527; and he that earneth wages 7936 earneth wages 7936 to put it into a bag 6872 with holes 5344.
7 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; Consider 7760 3824 your ways 1870.
8 Go up 5927 to the mountain 2022, and bring 935 wood 6086, and build 1129 the house 1004; and I will take pleasure 7521 in it, and I will be glorified 3513, saith 559 the LORD 3068.
9 Ye looked 6437 for much 7235, and, lo, it came to little 4592; and when ye brought 935 it home 1004, I did blow 5301 upon it. Why? saith 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635. Because 3282 of mine house 1004 that is waste 2720, and ye run 7323 every man 376 unto his own house 1004.
10 Therefore the heaven 8064 over you is stayed 3607 from dew 2919, and the earth 776 is stayed 3607 from her fruit 2981.
11 And I called 7121 for a drought 2721 upon the land 776, and upon the mountains 2022, and upon the corn 1715, and upon the new wine 8492, and upon the oil 3323, and upon that which the ground 127 bringeth forth 3318, and upon men 120, and upon cattle 929, and upon all the labour 3018 of the hands 3709.
12 Then Zerubbabel 2216 the son 1121 of Shealtiel 7597, and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Josedech 3087, the high 1419 priest 3548, with all the remnant 7611 of the people 5971, obeyed 8085 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 their God 430, and the words 1697 of Haggai 2292 the prophet 5030, as the LORD 3068 their God 430 had sent 7971 him, and the people 5971 did fear 3372 before 6440 the LORD 3068.
13 Then spake 559 Haggai 2292 the LORD'S 3068 messenger 4397 in the LORD'S 3068 message 4400 unto the people 5971, saying 559, I am with you, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
14 And the LORD 3068 stirred up 5782 the spirit 7307 of Zerubbabel 2216 the son 1121 of Shealtiel 7597, governor 6346 of Judah 3063, and the spirit 7307 of Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Josedech 3087, the high 1419 priest 3548, and the spirit 7307 of all the remnant 7611 of the people 5971; and they came 935 and did 6213 work 4399 in the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, their God 430,
15 In the four 702 and twentieth 6242 day 3117 of the sixth 8345 month 2320, in the second 8147 year 8141 of Darius 1867 the king 4428.
