Dual Panel1In the second <08147> year <08141> of Darius <01867> the king <04428>_, in the sixth <08345> month <02320>_, in the first <0259> day <03117> of the month <02320>_, came the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> by <03027> Haggai <02292> the prophet <05030> unto Zerubbabel <02216> the son <01121> of Shealtiel <07597>_, governor <06346> of Judah <03063>_, and to Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Josedech <03087>_, the high <01419> priest <03548>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, {by: Heb. by the hand of} {governor: or, captain}
2Thus speaketh <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, This people <05971> say <0559> (8804)_, The time <06256> is not come <0935> (8800)_, the time <06256> that the LORD'S <03068> house <01004> should be built <01129> (8736)_.
3Then came the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> by <03027> Haggai <02292> the prophet <05030>_, saying <0559> (8800)_,
4[Is it] time <06256> for you, O ye, to dwell <03427> (8800) in your cieled <05603> (8803) houses <01004>_, and this house <01004> [lie] waste <02720>_?
5Now therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_; Consider <07760> (8798) <03824> your ways <01870>_. {Consider...: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
6Ye have sown <02232> (8804) much <07235> (8687)_, and bring <0935> (8687) in little <04592>_; ye eat <0398> (8800)_, but ye have not enough <07654>_; ye drink <08354> (8800)_, but ye are not filled with drink <07937> (8800)_; ye clothe <03847> (8800) you, but there is none warm <02527>_; and he that earneth wages <07936> (8693) earneth wages <07936> (8693) [to put it] into a bag <06872> with holes <05344> (8803)_. {with holes: Heb. pierced through}
7Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_; Consider <07760> (8798) <03824> your ways <01870>_. {Consider...: Heb. Set your heart on your ways}
8Go up <05927> (8798) to the mountain <02022>_, and bring <0935> (8689) wood <06086>_, and build <01129> (8798) the house <01004>_; and I will take pleasure <07521> (8799) in it, and I will be glorified <03513> (8735)_, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>_.
9Ye looked <06437> (8800) for much <07235> (8687)_, and, lo, [it came] to little <04592>_; and when ye brought <0935> (8689) [it] home <01004>_, I did blow <05301> (8804) upon it. Why? saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_. Because <03282> of mine house <01004> that [is] waste <02720>_, and ye run <07323> (8801) every man <0376> unto his own house <01004>_. {blow...: or, blow it away}
10Therefore the heaven <08064> over you is stayed <03607> (8804) from dew <02919>_, and the earth <0776> is stayed <03607> (8804) [from] her fruit <02981>_.
11And I called <07121> (8799) for a drought <02721> upon the land <0776>_, and upon the mountains <02022>_, and upon the corn <01715>_, and upon the new wine <08492>_, and upon the oil <03323>_, and upon [that] which the ground <0127> bringeth forth <03318> (8686)_, and upon men <0120>_, and upon cattle <0929>_, and upon all the labour <03018> of the hands <03709>_.
12Then Zerubbabel <02216> the son <01121> of Shealtiel <07597>_, and Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Josedech <03087>_, the high <01419> priest <03548>_, with all the remnant <07611> of the people <05971>_, obeyed <08085> (8799) the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068> their God <0430>_, and the words <01697> of Haggai <02292> the prophet <05030>_, as the LORD <03068> their God <0430> had sent <07971> (8804) him, and the people <05971> did fear <03372> (8799) before <06440> the LORD <03068>_.
13Then spake <0559> (8799) Haggai <02292> the LORD'S <03068> messenger <04397> in the LORD'S <03068> message <04400> unto the people <05971>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, I [am] with you, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>_.
14And the LORD <03068> stirred up <05782> (8686) the spirit <07307> of Zerubbabel <02216> the son <01121> of Shealtiel <07597>_, governor <06346> of Judah <03063>_, and the spirit <07307> of Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Josedech <03087>_, the high <01419> priest <03548>_, and the spirit <07307> of all the remnant <07611> of the people <05971>_; and they came <0935> (8799) and did <06213> (8799) work <04399> in the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>_, their God <0430>_,
15In the four <0702> and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of the sixth <08345> month <02320>_, in the second <08147> year <08141> of Darius <01867> the king <04428>_.
