1In the seventhH7637 monthH2320, in the one and twentiethH6242 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 2SpeakH559 nowH4994 to ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JehozadakH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and to the remnantH7611 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 3Who is leftH7604 among youH859 that sawH7200 this houseH1004 in itsH853 formerH7223 gloryH3519? and howH4100 doH4100 ye seeH7200 it nowH6258? is it notH3808 in your eyesH5869 as nothingH3808? 4Yet nowH6258 be strongH2388, O ZerubbabelH2216, saith the LORDH3068; and be strongH2388, O JoshuaH3091, sonH1121 of JehozadakH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548; and be strongH2388, allH3605 ye peopleH5971 of the landH776, saith the LORDH3068, and work: for I am with youH3588, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, 5according to the wordH1697 that I covenantedH3772 with youH834 when ye cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and my spiritH7307 abode among youH834: fearH3372 ye notH408. 6For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: Yet onceH259, it is a littleH4592 whileH5750, and I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776, and the seaH3220, and the dryH2724 landH776; 7and I will shakeH7493 allH3605 nationsH1471, and the desirableH2532 things of allH3605 nationsH1471 shall comeH935, and I will fillH4390 this houseH1004 with gloryH3519, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 8The silverH3701 is mine, and the goldH2091 is mine, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 9The latterH314 gloryH3519 of this houseH1004 shall be greaterH1419 thanH4480 the formerH7223, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and in this placeH4725 will I giveH5414 peaceH7965, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 10In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 11ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: AskH7592 nowH4994 the priestsH3548 concerning the lawH8451, sayingH559, 12IfH2005 one bearH5375 holyH6944 fleshH1320 in the skirtH3671 of his garmentH899, and with his skirtH3671 doH3605 touchH5060 breadH3899, or pottage, or wineH3196, or oilH8081, or anyH3605 meatH1320, shall it becomeH6942 holyH6944? And the priestsH3548 answeredH559 and saidH559, NoH3808. 13Then saidH559 HaggaiH2292, IfH518 one that is uncleanH2931 by a deadH5315 bodyH5315 touchH5060 anyH3605 of theseH428, shall it be uncleanH2931? And the priestsH3548 answeredH559 and saidH559, It shall be uncleanH2931. 14Then answeredH559 HaggaiH2292 and saidH559, SoH3651 is this peopleH5971, and soH3651 is this nationH1471 beforeH6440 meH6440, saith the LORDH3068; and soH3651 is everyH3605 workH4639 of their handsH3027; and that whichH834 they offerH7126 there is uncleanH2931. 15And nowH6258, I prayH4994 youH3117, considerH7760 from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from beforeH2962 a stoneH68 was laidH7760 uponH413 a stoneH68 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068: 16ThroughH935 all that time, when one cameH935 to an heapH6194 of twentyH6242 measures, there were but tenH6235; when one cameH935 to the winefat for to drawH2834 outH413 fiftyH2572 vessels, there were but twentyH6242. 17I smoteH5221 youH3605 with blasting and with mildewH3420 and with hailH1259 in allH3605 the workH4639 of your handsH3027; yet ye turnedH413 notH369 to meH413, saith the LORDH3068. 18ConsiderH7760, I prayH4994 youH834, from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the ninthH8671 month, sinceH4480 the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the LORD’SH3068 templeH1964 was laidH7760, considerH7760 it. 19Is the seedH2233 yet in the barnH4035? yea, the vineH1612, and the figH8384 treeH6086, and the pomegranateH7416, and the oliveH2132 treeH6086 hath notH3808 broughtH5375 forthH5375; from this dayH3117 will I blessH1288 youH3117. 20And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 the secondH8145 time unto HaggaiH2292 in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH2320 of the monthH2320, sayingH559, 21SpeakH559 to ZerubbabelH2216, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776: 22and I will overthrowH2015 the throneH3678 of kingdomsH4467, and I will destroyH8045 the strengthH2392 of the kingdomsH4467 of the nationsH1471; and I will overthrowH2015 the chariotsH4818, and thoseH376 that rideH7392 in them; and the horsesH5483 and their ridersH7392 shall comeH3381 downH3381, everyH376 one by the swordH2719 of his brotherH251. 23In that dayH3117, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, will I takeH3947 thee, O ZerubbabelH2216, my servantH5650, the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, saith the LORDH3068, and will makeH7760 thee as a signetH2368: for I have chosenH977 thee, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
