Book of Haggai Chapter 01
37_HAG_01_01 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
37_HAG_01_02 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built.
37_HAG_01_03 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
37_HAG_01_04 [Is it] time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house [lie] waste?
37_HAG_01_05 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
37_HAG_01_06 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it] into a bag with holes.
37_HAG_01_07 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
37_HAG_01_08 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
37_HAG_01_09 Ye looked for much, and, lo, [it came] to little; and when ye brought [it] home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that [is] waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
37_HAG_01_10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed [from] her fruit.
37_HAG_01_11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon [that] which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
37_HAG_01_12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
37_HAG_01_13 Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, I [am] with you, saith the LORD.
37_HAG_01_14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
37_HAG_01_15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
