2:1 | In the seventh <07637> [month], in the one <0259> and twentieth <06242> [day] of the month <02320>, came the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> by <03027> the prophet <05030> Haggai <02292>, saying <0559> (8800), {by: Heb. by the hand of} |
2:2 | Speak <0559> (8798) now to Zerubbabel <02216> the son <01121> of Shealtiel <07597>, governor <06346> of Judah <03063>, and to Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Josedech <03087>, the high <01419> priest <03548>, and to the residue <07611> of the people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), |
2:3 | Who [is] left <07604> (8737) among you that saw <07200> (8804) this house <01004> in her first <07223> glory <03519>? and how do ye see <07200> (8802) it now? [is it] not in your eyes <05869> in comparison <03644> of it as nothing? |
2:4 | Yet now be strong <02388> (8798), O Zerubbabel <02216>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; and be strong <02388> (8798), O Joshua <03091>, son <01121> of Josedech <03087>, the high <01419> priest <03548>; and be strong <02388> (8798), all ye people <05971> of the land <0776>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, and work <06213> (8798): for I [am] with you, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: |
2:5 | [According to] the word <01697> that I covenanted <03772> (8804) with you when ye came <03318> (8800) out of Egypt <04714>, so my spirit <07307> remaineth <05975> (8802) among <08432> you: fear <03372> (8799) ye not. |
2:6 | For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Yet once <0259>, it [is] a little while <04592>, and I will shake <07493> (8688) the heavens <08064>, and the earth <0776>, and the sea <03220>, and the dry <02724> [land]; |
2:7 | And I will shake <07493> (8689) all nations <01471>, and the desire <02532> of all nations <01471> shall come <0935> (8804): and I will fill <04390> (8765) this house <01004> with glory <03519>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. |
2:8 | The silver <03701> [is] mine, and the gold <02091> [is] mine, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. |
2:9 | The glory <03519> of this latter <0314> house <01004> shall be greater than <01419> of the former <07223>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>: and in this place <04725> will I give <05414> (8799) peace <07965>, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. |
2:10 | In the four <0702> and twentieth <06242> [day] of the ninth <08671> [month], in the second <08147> year <08141> of Darius <01867>, came the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> by <03027> Haggai <02292> the prophet <05030>, saying <0559> (8800), |
2:11 | Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Ask <07592> (8798) now the priests <03548> [concerning] the law <08451>, saying <0559> (8800), |
2:12 | If one <0376> bear <05375> (8799) holy <06944> flesh <01320> in the skirt <03671> of his garment <0899>, and with his skirt <03671> do touch <05060> (8804) bread <03899>, or pottage <05138>, or wine <03196>, or oil <08081>, or any meat <03978>, shall it be holy <06942> (8799)? And the priests <03548> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), No. |
2:13 | Then said <0559> (8799) Haggai <02292>, If [one that is] unclean <02931> by a dead body <05315> touch <05060> (8799) any of these, shall it be unclean <02930> (8799)? And the priests <03548> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), It shall be unclean <02930> (8799). |
2:14 | Then answered <06030> (8799) Haggai <02292>, and said <0559> (8799), So [is] this people <05971>, and so [is] this nation <01471> before <06440> me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; and so [is] every work <04639> of their hands <03027>; and that which they offer <07126> (8686) there [is] unclean <02931>. |
2:15 | And now, I pray you, consider <07760> (8798) <03824> from this day <03117> and upward <04605>, from before <02962> a stone <068> was laid <07760> (8800) upon a stone <068> in the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>: |
2:16 | Since those [days] were, when [one] came <0935> (8804) to an heap <06194> of twenty <06242> [measures], there were [but] ten <06235>: when [one] came <0935> (8804) to the pressfat <03342> for to draw out <02834> (8800) fifty <02572> [vessels] out of the press <06333>, there were [but] twenty <06242>. |
2:17 | I smote <05221> (8689) you with blasting <07711> and with mildew <03420> and with hail <01259> in all the labours <04639> of your hands <03027>; yet ye [turned] not to me, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. |
2:18 | Consider <07760> (8798) <03824> now from this day <03117> and upward <04605>, from the four <0702> and twentieth <06242> day <03117> of the ninth <08671> [month, even] from the day <03117> that the foundation <03245> (8795) of the LORD'S <03068> temple <01964> was laid, consider <07760> (8798) <03824> [it]. |
2:19 | Is the seed <02233> yet in the barn <04035>? yea, as yet the vine <01612>, and the fig tree <08384>, and the pomegranate <07416>, and the olive <02132> tree <06086>, hath not brought forth <05375> (8804): from this day <03117> will I bless <01288> (8762) [you]. |
2:20 | And again <08145> the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto Haggai <02292> in the four <0702> and twentieth <06242> [day] of the month <02320>, saying <0559> (8800), |
2:21 | Speak <0559> (8798) to Zerubbabel <02216>, governor <06346> of Judah <03063>, saying <0559> (8800), I will shake <07493> (8688) the heavens <08064> and the earth <0776>; |
2:22 | And I will overthrow <02015> (8804) the throne <03678> of kingdoms <04467>, and I will destroy <08045> (8689) the strength <02392> of the kingdoms <04467> of the heathen <01471>; and I will overthrow <02015> (8804) the chariots <04818>, and those that ride <07392> (8802) in them; and the horses <05483> and their riders <07392> (8802) shall come down <03381> (8804), every one <0376> by the sword <02719> of his brother <0251>. |
2:23 | In that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, will I take <03947> (8799) thee, O Zerubbabel <02216>, my servant <05650>, the son <01121> of Shealtiel <07597>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, and will make <07760> (8804) thee as a signet <02368>: for I have chosen <0977> (8804) thee, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>. |
