Haggai Chapter 1

1In the second yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the kingH4428, in the sixthH8345 monthH2320, in the first dayH3117 of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of Jehovah by HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030 unto ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JehozadakH3087, the high priestH3548, sayingH559, 2ThusH3541 speaketh Jehovah of hostsH6635, sayingH559, This peopleH5971 sayH559, It is not the timeH6256 for us to comeH935, the timeH6256 for Jehovah’s houseH1004 to be builtH1129. 3Then came the wordH1697 of Jehovah by HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 4Is it a timeH6256 for you yourselves to dwellH3427 in your ceiled housesH1004, while this houseH1004 lieth waste? 5NowH6258 thereforeH6258 thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: Consider your waysH1870. 6Ye have sownH2232 muchH7235, and bringH935 in littleH4592; ye eatH398, but ye have not enough; ye drinkH8354, but ye are not filled with drinkH8354; ye clotheH3847 you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to putH3847 it into a bagH6872 with holes.

7ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635: Consider your waysH1870. 8GoH935 up to the mountainH2022, and bringH935 woodH6086, and buildH1129 the houseH1004; and I will take pleasureH7521 in it, and I will be glorifiedH3513, saith Jehovah. 9Ye looked for muchH7235, and, lo, it cameH935 to littleH4592; and whenH834 ye broughtH935 it home, I did blowH5301 upon it. WhyH4100? saith Jehovah of hostsH6635. Because of my houseH1004 that lieth waste, while ye runH7323 every manH376 to his own houseH1004. 10ThereforeH3651 for your sake the heavensH8064 withholdH3607 the dewH2919, and the earthH776 withholdeth its fruit. 11And I calledH7121 for a drought upon the landH776, and upon the mountainsH2022, and upon the grainH1715, and upon the newH8492 wineH8492, and upon the oilH3323, and upon that which the groundH776 bringeth forthH3318, and upon menH120, and upon cattleH929, and upon all the labor of the handsH3709.

12Then ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JehozadakH3087, the high priestH3548, with all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971, obeyed the voiceH6963 of Jehovah their GodH430, and the wordsH1697 of HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, as Jehovah their GodH430 had sentH7971 him; and the peopleH5971 did fearH3372 before Jehovah. 13Then spake HaggaiH2292 Jehovah’s messengerH4397 in Jehovah’s message unto the peopleH5971, sayingH559, I am with you, saith Jehovah. 14And Jehovah stirredH5782 up the spiritH7307 of ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and the spiritH7307 of JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JehozadakH3087, the high priestH3548, and the spiritH7307 of all the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971; and they cameH935 and did workH4399 on the houseH1004 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, their GodH430, 15in the fourH702 and twentieth dayH3117 of the monthH2320, in the sixthH8345 monthH2320, in the second yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the kingH4428.
