Book 37 Haggai Chapter 002

 

002:001In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the
month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai,
saying,

 

002:002Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of
Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and
to the residue of the people, saying,

 

002:003Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory?
and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison
of it as nothing?

 

002:004Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be
strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be
strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work:
for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:

 

002:005According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came
out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.

 

002:006For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little
while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the
sea, and the dry land;

 

002:007And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations
shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the
LORD of hosts.

 

002:008The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of
hosts.

 

002:009The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the
former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give
peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

 

002:010In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the
second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the
prophet, saying,

 

002:011Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning
the law, saying,

 

002:012If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with
his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any
meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

 

002:013Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch
any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered
and said, It shall be unclean.

 

002:014Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is
this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of
their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

 

002:015And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from
before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the
LORD:

 

002:016Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty
measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat
for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but
twenty.

 

002:017I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all
the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the
LORD.

 

002:018Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and
twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the
foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.

 

002:019Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig
tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not
brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

 

002:020And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four
and twentieth day of the month, saying,

 

002:021Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake
the heavens and the earth;

 

002:022And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will
destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I
will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and
the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the
sword of his brother.

 

002:023In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O
Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD,
and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith
the LORD of hosts.
