Context of Haggai 1:12

10Therefore, because of you, the sky has withheld dew and the earth has withheld its yield. 11For I have called for drought on the land, the hills and the grain, on the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on mankind and beast, as well as all labor of hands.” Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jehozadak, kohen gadol , and all the remnant of the people, heeded the voice of Adonai their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, since Adonai their God had sent him. So the people revered Adonai. 13Then Haggai, the messenger of Adonai, spoke to the people with the message of Adonai, “I am with you!”—it is a declaration of Adonai. 14Then Adonai stirred the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, kohen gadol , and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came and did work on the House of Adonai-Tzva’ot their God,
