[2]Thus speaketh the Lorde of hoastes, saying: This people sayth, The time is not yet come for the Lordes house to be buylded [2]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.
[3]Then came the worde of the Lorde by the ministerie of the prophete Aggeus, saying [3]Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
[4]Is it time for you your selues to dwel in seeled houses, and this house lie wast [4]Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
[5]Nowe thus sayth the Lord of hoastes, Consider your owne wayes in your heartes [5]Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
[6]Ye haue sowen much, but ye bryng litle in: ye eate, but ye haue not inough: ye drinke, but ye are not filled: ye cloth you, but ye be not warme: and he that earneth wages, putteth the wages into a broken bagge [6]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.
[7]Thus sayth the Lorde of hoastes, Consider your owne wayes in your heartes [7]Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
[8]Get you vp to the mountayne, and fetche wood, and buyld this house, & I wil take pleasure in it, and I wilbe glorified, sayth the Lorde [8]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.
[9]Ye loked for much, and lo it came to litle, and when ye brought it home, I dyd blowe vpon it: and why, sayth the Lord of hoastes? because of my house that is waste, and you run euery man into his his owne house [9]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.
[10]Therfore vpon you the heauen is stayed from deawe, & the earth is stayed from yeelding her increase [10]Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
[11]And I haue called for a drought vpon the land, and vpon the mountaynes, and vpon the corne, & vpon the wine, and vpon the oyle, and vpon al that the ground bringeth foorth, vpon men, & vpon cattel, and vpon all the labour of the handes [11]And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
[12]When Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel, and Iosua the sonne of Iosedech the hye priest, with all the remnaunt of the people, hearde the voyce of the Lorde their God, and the wordes of the prophete Haggeus, as the Lorde their God had sent him, then the people hyd feare before the Lorde [12]Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
[13]Then Haggeus the Lordes messenger sayd in the Lordes message vnto the people, saying: I am with you saith the Lorde [13]Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
[14]And the Lorde stirred vp the spirite of Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel a prince of Iuda, and the spirite of Iosua the sonne of Iosedech the hie priest, and the spirite of all the people: & they came and dyd the worke in the house of the Lorde of hoastes their God [14]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,
