[1]In the seventhH7637 month, in the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 the prophetH5030 HaggaiH2292, sayingH559,[H8800]
[2]SpeakH559[H8798] now to ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and to the residueH7611 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,[H8800]
[3]Who is leftH7604[H8737] among you that sawH7200[H8804] this houseH1004 in her firstH7223 gloryH3519? and how do ye seeH7200[H8802] it now? is it not in your eyesH5869 in comparison of it as nothingH3644?
[4]Yet now be strongH2388[H8798], O ZerubbabelH2216, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; and be strongH2388[H8798], O JoshuaH3091, sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548; and be strongH2388[H8798], all ye peopleH5971 of the landH776, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, and workH6213[H8798]: for I am with you, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
[5]According to the wordH1697 that I covenantedH3772[H8804] with you when ye cameH3318[H8800] out of EgyptH4714, so my spiritH7307 remainethH5975[H8802] amongH8432 you: fearH3372 ye notH8799.
[6]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Yet onceH259, it is a little whileH4592, and I will shakeH7493[H8688] the heavensH8064, and the earthH776, and the seaH3220, and the dry landH2724;
[7]And I will shakeH7493[H8689] all nationsH1471, and the desireH2532 of all nationsH1471 shall comeH935[H8804]: and I will fillH4390[H8765] this houseH1004 with gloryH3519, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
[8]The silverH3701 is mine, and the goldH2091 is mine, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
[9]The gloryH3519 of this latterH314 houseH1004 shall be greater thanH1419 of the formerH7223, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and in this placeH4725 will I giveH5414[H8799] peaceH7965, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
[10]In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,[H8800]
[11]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; AskH7592[H8798] now the priestsH3548 concerning the lawH8451, sayingH559,[H8800]
[12]If oneH376 bearH5375[H8799] holyH6944 fleshH1320 in the skirtH3671 of his garmentH899, and with his skirtH3671 do touchH5060[H8804] breadH3899, or pottageH5138, or wineH3196, or oilH8081, or any meatH3978, shall it be holyH6942[H8799]? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559, NoH8799.
[13]Then saidH559[H8799] HaggaiH2292, If one that is uncleanH2931 by a dead bodyH5315 touchH5060[H8799] any of these, shall it be uncleanH2930[H8799]? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], It shall be uncleanH2930.[H8799]
[14]Then answeredH6030[H8799] HaggaiH2292, and saidH559[H8799], So is this peopleH5971, and so is this nationH1471 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; and so is every workH4639 of their handsH3027; and that which they offerH7126[H8686] there is uncleanH2931.
[15]And now, I pray you, considerH7760[H8798][H3824] from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from beforeH2962 a stoneH68 was laidH7760[H8800] upon a stoneH68 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068:
[16]Since those days were, when one cameH935[H8804] to an heapH6194 of twentyH6242 measures, there were but tenH6235: when one cameH935[H8804] to the pressfatH3342 for to draw outH2834[H8800] fiftyH2572 vessels out of the pressH6333, there were but twentyH6242.
[17]I smoteH5221[H8689] you with blastingH7711 and with mildewH3420 and with hailH1259 in all the laboursH4639 of your handsH3027; yet ye turned not to me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068.
[18]ConsiderH7760[H8798][H3824] now from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the ninthH8671 month, even from the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245[H8795] of the LORD'SH3068 templeH1964 was laid, considerH7760[H8798] itH3824.
[19]Is the seedH2233 yet in the barnH4035? yea, as yet the vineH1612, and the fig treeH8384, and the pomegranateH7416, and the oliveH2132 treeH6086, hath not brought forthH5375[H8804]: from this dayH3117 will I blessH1288 youH8762.
[20]And againH8145 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto HaggaiH2292 in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, sayingH559,[H8800]
[21]SpeakH559[H8798] to ZerubbabelH2216, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, sayingH559[H8800], I will shakeH7493[H8688] the heavensH8064 and the earthH776;
[22]And I will overthrowH2015[H8804] the throneH3678 of kingdomsH4467, and I will destroyH8045[H8689] the strengthH2392 of the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471; and I will overthrowH2015[H8804] the chariotsH4818, and those that rideH7392[H8802] in them; and the horsesH5483 and their ridersH7392[H8802] shall come downH3381[H8804], every oneH376 by the swordH2719 of his brotherH251.
[23]In that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, will I takeH3947[H8799] thee, O ZerubbabelH2216, my servantH5650, the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, and will makeH7760[H8804] thee as a signetH2368: for I have chosenH977[H8804] thee, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
