The Old Testament Book of Haggai
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Haggai 1:5
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the
son of Shealtiel, govenor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the
high priest.
* 1 * The message from the Lord by Haggai in the 2nd year of Darius in
the first day of the 6th month. The people say it isn't time to
build the Lord's house. The Lord asks, is it time for you to
dwell in your houses and this house lie waste? The Lord says to
consider your ways. You sow much but bring in little. You earn
wages to put it into a bag with holes. You looked for much, but it
came to little. Because my house lies waste. Therefore the dew
from heaven and the fruit of the earth is stopped. 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.
* 2 * In the 21st day of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by
the prophet Haggai. Ask Zerubbabel and Joshua and the residue of
the people who saw this house in its first glory, How does it
look now? Yet be strong and work for I am with you. In a little
while I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry
land. I will shake all nations. I will fill this house with glory.
The silver and gold is mine saith the Lord of Hosts. The glory of
of this later house will be greater than the former. In this place
I will give peace.
In the 24th day of the ninth month, the word of the Lord came by the
prophet Haggai. Ask the priests, if one bears holy flesh in the
skirt of his garment and touches bread, pottage, wine, or oil
or any meat shall it be holy? If one that is unclean by a dead
body touch any of these shall it be unclean. So is this people,
this nation and every work of their hands, and that which they
offer. Consider that before a stone was laid upon a stone in the
temple of the Lord that I smote you with blasting, with mildew,
and hail in all the labors of your hands yet ye turned not to me.
Consider this day - even from the day that the foundation of the
Lord's temple was laid -- from this day will I bless you.
In the 24th day of the ninth month, the word of the Lord came unto
Haggai saying tell Zerubbabel I will shake the heavens and the
earth. I will overthrow kingdoms. In that day, Zerubbabel, I will
make thee as a signet for I have chosen thee saith the Lord of
hosts.
