1. 1 In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest:

   1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

2. 2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "These people say, The time has not yet come for the LORDS house to be built."

   2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time (for us) to come, the time for Jehovahs house to be built.

3. 3 Then the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai:

   3 Then came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying,

4. 4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?"

   4 Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste?

5. 5 Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways.

   5 Now therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.

6. 6 You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."

   6 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.

7. 7 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways.

   7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.

8. 8 Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored," says the LORD.

   8 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 Jehovah.

9. 9 "You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?" declares the LORD Almighty. "Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house.

   9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house.

10. 10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops.

    10 Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.

11. 11 I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the oil and whatever the ground produces, on men and cattle, and on the labor of your hands."

    11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, 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 labor of the hands.

12. 12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the LORD their God had sent him. And the people feared the LORD.

    12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him; and the people did fear before Jehovah.

13. 13 Then Haggai, the LORDS messenger, gave this message of the LORD to the people: "I am with you," declares the LORD.

    13 Then spake Haggai Jehovahs messenger in Jehovahs message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith Jehovah.

14. 14 So the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the LORD Almighty, their God,

    14 And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work on the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God,
