10On the 1twenty-fourthH6242H702 of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 11“The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559 thisH3541: ‘2NowH4994 askH7592 the priestsH3548 for a 3rulingH8451: 12IfH2005 someoneH376 carriesH5375 4holyH6944 meatH1320 in the 5foldH3671 of his garmentH899, and touchesH5060 breadH3899 with 6this foldH3671, or touches cookedH5138 foodH5138, wineH3196, oilH8081, or anyH3605 other foodH3978, will it becomeH6942 holyH6942?’” And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030, “NoH3808.” 13Then HaggaiH2292 saidH559, “7IfH518 one who is uncleanH2931 from a 8corpseH5315 touchesH5060 anyH3605 of theseH428 things, will the latter becomeH2930 uncleanH2930?” And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030, “It will becomeH2930 uncleanH2930.” 14Then HaggaiH2292 respondedH6030 and saidH559, “‘9SoH3651 is thisH2088 peopleH5971. And soH3651 is thisH2088 nationH1471 beforeH6440 Me,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘and soH3651 is everyH3605 workH4639 of their handsH3027; and whatH834 they offerH7126 thereH8033 is uncleanH2931. 15But nowH6258, do 1011considerH7760H3824 from thisH2088 dayH3117 12onwardH4605: beforeH4480H2962 one 13stoneH68 was placedH7760 on anotherH68 in the templeH1964 of the LordH3068, 1614from that timeH1961 when one cameH935 to a grainH6194 heapH6194 of twentyH6242 measures, there would be only tenH6235; and when one cameH935 to the wineH3342 vatH3342 to drawH2834 fiftyH2572 15measuresH6333, there would be only twentyH6242. 17I struckH5221 you and everyH3605 workH4639 of your handsH3027 with 16scorchingH7711 windH7711, mildewH3420, and hailH1259; 17yet you did not come back to Me,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 18‘Do 1819considerH7760H3824 from thisH2088 dayH3117 20onwardH4605, from the 21twenty-fourthH6242H702 dayH3117 of the ninthH8671 month; from the dayH3117 whenH834 the templeH1964 of the LordH3068 was 22foundedH3245, 23considerH7760H3824: 19Is the seedH2233 stillH5750 in the barnH4035? Even includingH5704 the vineH1612, the figH8384 treeH8384, the pomegranateH7416, and the oliveH2132 treeH6086, it has not producedH5375 fruit. Yet from thisH2088 dayH3117 on I will 24blessH1288 you.’”

20Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 a secondH8145 timeH8145 to HaggaiH2292 on the 25twenty-fourthH6242H702 day of the monthH2320, sayingH559, 21“SpeakH559 to 26ZerubbabelH2216 governorH6346 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, ‘I am going to 27shakeH7493 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776. 22And I will 28overthrowH2015 the thronesH3678 of kingdomsH4467 and destroyH8045 the 29powerH2392 of the kingdomsH4467 of the 30nationsH1471; and I will 31overthrowH2015 the chariotsH4818 and their ridersH7392, and the 32horsesH5483 and their ridersH7392 will goH3381 downH3381, 33everyH376 oneH376 by the swordH2719 of anotherH251.’ 23‘On that dayH3117,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, ‘I will takeH3947 you, ZerubbabelH2216, sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, My servantH5650,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘and I will makeH7760 you like a 3435signetH2368 ringH2368, for 36I have chosenH977 you,’” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
