1 In the seventh 7637 month, in the one 259 and twentieth 6242 day of the month 2320, came the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 by 3027 the prophet 5030 Haggai 2292, saying 559,
2 Speak 559 now to 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, and to the residue 7611 of the people 5971, saying 559,
3 Who is left 7604 among you that saw 7200 this house 1004 in her first 7223 glory 3519? and how do ye see 7200 it now? is it not in your eyes 5869 in comparison 3644 of it as nothing?
4 Yet now be strong 2388, O Zerubbabel 2216, saith 5002 the LORD 3068; and be strong 2388, O Joshua 3091, son 1121 of Josedech 3087, the high 1419 priest 3548; and be strong 2388, all ye people 5971 of the land 776, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, and work 6213: for I am with you, saith 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635:
5 According to the word 1697 that I covenanted 3772 with you when ye came 3318 out of Egypt 4714, so my spirit 7307 remaineth 5975 among 8432 you: fear 3372 ye not.
6 For thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; Yet once 259, it is a little while 4592, and I will shake 7493 the heavens 8064, and the earth 776, and the sea 3220, and the dry 2724 land;
7 And I will shake 7493 all nations 1471, and the desire 2532 of all nations 1471 shall come 935: and I will fill 4390 this house 1004 with glory 3519, saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.
8 The silver 3701 is mine, and the gold 2091 is mine, saith 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.
9 The glory 3519 of this latter 314 house 1004 shall be greater than 1419 of the former 7223, saith 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635: and in this place 4725 will I give 5414 peace 7965, saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.
10 In the four 702 and twentieth 6242 day of the ninth 8671 month, in the second 8147 year 8141 of Darius 1867, came the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 by 3027 Haggai 2292 the prophet 5030, saying 559,
11 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; Ask 7592 now the priests 3548 concerning the law 8451, saying 559,
12 If one 376 bear 5375 holy 6944 flesh 1320 in the skirt 3671 of his garment 899, and with his skirt 3671 do touch 5060 bread 3899, or pottage 5138, or wine 3196, or oil 8081, or any meat 3978, shall it be holy 6942? And the priests 3548 answered 6030 and said 559, No.
13 Then said 559 Haggai 2292, If one that is unclean 2931 by a dead body 5315 touch 5060 any of these, shall it be unclean 2930? And the priests 3548 answered 6030 and said 559, It shall be unclean 2930.
14 Then answered 6030 Haggai 2292, and said 559, So is this people 5971, and so is this nation 1471 before 6440 me, saith 5002 the LORD 3068; and so is every work 4639 of their hands 3027; and that which they offer 7126 there is unclean 2931.
15 And now, I pray you, consider 7760 3824 from this day 3117 and upward 4605, from before 2962 a stone 68 was laid 7760 upon a stone 68 in the temple 1964 of the LORD 3068:
16 Since those days were, when one came 935 to an heap 6194 of twenty 6242 measures, there were but ten 6235: when one came 935 to the pressfat 3342 for to draw out 2834 fifty 2572 vessels out of the press 6333, there were but twenty 6242.
17 I smote 5221 you with blasting 7711 and with mildew 3420 and with hail 1259 in all the labours 4639 of your hands 3027; yet ye turned not to me, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
18 Consider 7760 3824 now from this day 3117 and upward 4605, from the four 702 and twentieth 6242 day 3117 of the ninth 8671 month, even from the day 3117 that the foundation 3245 of the LORD'S 3068 temple 1964 was laid, consider 7760 3824 it.
19 Is the seed 2233 yet in the barn 4035? yea, as yet the vine 1612, and the fig tree 8384, and the pomegranate 7416, and the olive 2132 tree 6086, hath not brought forth 5375: from this day 3117 will I bless 1288 you.
20 And again 8145 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto Haggai 2292 in the four 702 and twentieth 6242 day of the month 2320, saying 559,
21 Speak 559 to Zerubbabel 2216, governor 6346 of Judah 3063, saying 559, I will shake 7493 the heavens 8064 and the earth 776;
22 And I will overthrow 2015 the throne 3678 of kingdoms 4467, and I will destroy 8045 the strength 2392 of the kingdoms 4467 of the heathen 1471; and I will overthrow 2015 the chariots 4818, and those that ride 7392 in them; and the horses 5483 and their riders 7392 shall come down 3381, every one 376 by the sword 2719 of his brother 251.
23 In that day 3117, saith 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, will I take 3947 thee, O Zerubbabel 2216, my servant 5650, the son 1121 of Shealtiel 7597, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, and will make 7760 thee as a signet 2368: for I have chosen 977 thee, saith 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.
