Chapter 1  
     
1.
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,
 
2.
Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts in vision which I have interpreted, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lord's house should be built.
 
3.
Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying,
 
4.
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
 
5.
Now therefore thus said the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
 
6.
You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
 
7.
Thus said the Lord of hosts in vision; Consider your ways.
 
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, said the Lord in dream.
 
9.
You looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when you brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? said the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and you run every man unto his own house.
 
10.
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
 
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.
 
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.
 
13.
Then spoke Haggai the Lord's messenger in the Lord's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, said the Lord in dream.
 
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,
 
15.
In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
