¹ In the second year of Darius the king, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came by the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying, ² “Thus says the LORD of^a Lit hosts, sayinghosts, ‘This people says, “The time has not come, even the time for the house of the LORD to be rebuilt.”’” ³ Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, ⁴ “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies desolate?” ⁵ Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts, “^b Lit Set your heart onConsider your ways! ⁶ You have sown much, but^c Lit bring inharvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is^d Lit not becoming drunknot enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes.”	1 Ezr 4:24 Ezr 5:1 Ezr 6:14 Hag 1:3 Hag 1:12 Hag 1:13 Hag 2:1 Hag 2:10 Hag 2:20 Ezr 2:2 Neh 7:7 Hag 1:12 Hag 1:14 Zec 4:6 Mat 1:12 Mat 1:13 Ki1 10:15 Ezr 5:3 Zec 6:11 4 Jer 33:10 Jer 33:12 Hag 1:9 6 Deu 28:38-40 Hos 8:7 Hag 1:9 Hag 1:10 Hag 2:16 Hag 2:17
⁷ Thus says the LORD of hosts, “^e Lit Set your heart onConsider your ways! ⁸ Go up to the^f Lit mountainmountains, bring wood and rebuild the^g Lit housetemple, that I may be pleased with it and be glorified,” says the LORD. ⁹ “You look for much, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?” declares the LORD of hosts, “Because of My house which lies desolate, while each of you runs to his own house. ¹⁰ Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld^h Lit from dewits dew and the earth has withheld its produce. ¹¹ I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor ofⁱ Lit the palmsyour hands.”	8 Ki1 6:1 Psa 132:13 Psa 132:14 Hag 2:7 Hag 2:9 9 Pro 27:20 Ecc 1:8 Isa 40:7 Hag 1:4 10 Deu 28:23 Deu 28:24 Ki1 17:1 Joe 1:18-20 11 Jer 14:2-6 Mal 3:9 Mal 3:11 Deu 28:22 Hag 2:17
