2

"Speakh559 nowh4994 to  aZerubbabelh2216 the sonh1121 of Shealtielh8032b,  agovernorh6346 of Judahh3063, and to  aJoshuah3091 the sonh1121 of Jehozadakh3087, the highh1419 priesth3548, and to the  bremnanth7611 of the peopleh5971a sayingh559,

3

`Whoh4310 is  alefth7604 among you whoh834 sawh7200 thish2088  1templeh1004 in its  bformerh7223 gloryh3519b? And howh4100 do you seeh7200 it nowh6258? Does it not  2seemh5869 to you like nothingh369  3in comparisonh3644?

4

`But nowh6258  1 atakeh2388 courageh2388, Zerubbabelh2216,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `takeh2388 courageh2388 also, Joshuah3091 sonh1121 of Jehozadakh3087, the highh1419 priesth3548, and allh3605 you peopleh5971a of the landh776 takeh2388 courageh2388,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `and workh6213a; for  bI am with you,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

5

`As for the  1 apromiseh1697 whichh834 I  2madeh3772 you when you cameh3318 out of Egypth4714,  3My  bSpirith7307 is abidingh5975 in your midsth8432;  cdo not fearh3372a!'

6

"For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, ` aOnceh259 moreh5750  1in a  blittleh4592 whileh4592, I am going to  cshakeh7493 the heavensh8064 and the earthh776, the seah3220 also and the dryh2724 landh2724.

7

`I will shakeh7493  aallh3605 the nationsh1471; and  1they will comeh935 with the  bwealthh2532 of allh3605 nationsh1471, and I will  cfillh4390 thish2088 househ1004 with gloryh3519b,' saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

8

`The  asilverh3701 is Mine and the goldh2091 is Mine,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

9

`The latterh314  agloryh3519b of thish2088 househ1004 will be greaterh1419 thanh4480 the  bformerh7223,' saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, `and in thish2088 placeh4725 I will giveh5414  cpeaceh7965,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635."

10

On the  atwenty-fourthh6242h702 of the ninthh8671 month, in the secondh8147 yearh8141 of Dariush1867, the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to Haggaih2292a the propheth5030, sayingh559,

11

"Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, ` aAskh7592 nowh4994 the priestsh3548 for a  1rulingh8451:

12

`Ifh2005 a manh376 carriesh5375  aholyh6944 meath1320 in the  1foldh3671 of his garmenth899b, and touchesh5060 breadh3899 with  2this foldh3671, or cookedh5138 foodh5138, wineh3196, oilh8081, or anyh3605 other foodh3978, will it becomeh6942 holyh6942?' " And the priestsh3548 answeredh6030a, "Noh3808."

13

Then Haggaih2292a saidh559, " aIfh518 one who is uncleanh2931 from a  1corpseh5315 touchesh5060 anyh3605 of theseh428, will the latter becomeh2930 uncleanh2930?" And the priestsh3548 answeredh6030a, "It will becomeh2930 uncleanh2930."

14

Then Haggaih2292a saidh559, " ` aSoh3651 is thish2088 peopleh5971a. And soh3651 is thish2088 nationh1471 beforeh6440 Me,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `and soh3651 is everyh3605 workh4639 of their handsh3027; and whath834 they offerh7126 thereh8033 is uncleanh2931.

15

`But nowh6258, do  1 aconsiderh7760h3824 from thish2088 dayh3117  2onwardh4605: beforeh4480h2962 one  bstoneh68 was placedh7760 on anotherh68 in the templeh1964 of the LORDh3068,

16

 1from that timeh1961 when one cameh935 to a grain heaph6194 of twentyh6242 measures, there would be only tenh6235; and when one cameh935 to the wineh3342 vath3342 to drawh2834 fiftyh2572  2measuresh6333b, there would be only twentyh6242.

17

`I smoteh5221 you and everyh3605 workh4639 of your handsh3027 with  ablastingh7711b windh7711b, mildewh3420 and hailh1259;  1yet you did not come back to Me,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

18

`Do  1 aconsiderh7760h3824 from thish2088 dayh3117  2onwardh4605, from the  btwenty-fourthh6242h702 dayh3117 of the ninthh8671 month; from the dayh3117 whenh834 the templeh1964 of the LORDh3068 was  cfoundedh3245,  1considerh7760h3824:

19

`Is the seedh2233 stillh5750 in the barnh4035? Evenh5704 includingh5704 the vineh1612, the figh8384 treeh8384, the pomegranateh7416 and the oliveh2132 treeh6086, it has not borneh5375 fruit. Yet from thish2088 dayh3117 on I will  ablessh1288 you."'

20

Then the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 a secondh8145 timeh8145 to Haggaih2292a on the  atwenty-fourthh6242h702 day of the monthh2320, sayingh559,

21

"Speakh559 to  aZerubbabelh2216 governorh6346 of Judahh3063, sayingh559, `I am going to  bshakeh7493 the heavensh8064 and the earthh776.

22

`I will  aoverthrowh2015 the thronesh3678 of kingdomsh4467 and destroyh8045 the  bpowerh2392 of the kingdomsh4467 of the  1nationsh1471; and I will  coverthrowh2015 the chariotsh4818 and their ridersh7392, and the  dhorsesh5483b and their ridersh7392 will goh3381 downh3381,  eeveryoneh376 by the swordh2719 of anotherh251.'

23

`On that dayh3117,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, `I will takeh3947 you, Zerubbabelh2216, sonh1121 of Shealtielh7597, My servanth5650,' declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, `and I will makeh7760 you like a  1 asigneth2368 ring, for  bI have chosenh977 you,' " declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.
