In the seventhH7637 month, in the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 the prophetH5030 HaggaiH2292, sayingH559, {by: Heb. by the hand of}
SpeakH559 now to ZerubbabelH2216 the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, and to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548, and to the residueH7611 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
Who is leftH7604 among you that sawH7200 this houseH1004 in her firstH7223 gloryH3519? and how do ye seeH7200 it now? is it not in your eyesH5869 in comparisonH3644 of it as nothing?
Yet now be strongH2388, O ZerubbabelH2216, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and be strongH2388, O JoshuaH3091, sonH1121 of JosedechH3087, the highH1419 priestH3548; and be strongH2388, all ye peopleH5971 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and workH6213: for I am with you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
According to the wordH1697 that I covenantedH3772 with you when ye cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714, so my spiritH7307 remainethH5975 amongH8432 you: fearH3372 ye not.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Yet onceH259, it is a little whileH4592, and I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776, and the seaH3220, and the dryH2724 land;
And I will shakeH7493 all nationsH1471, and the desireH2532 of all nationsH1471 shall comeH935: and I will fillH4390 this houseH1004 with gloryH3519, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The silverH3701 is mine, and the goldH2091 is mine, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The gloryH3519 of this latterH314 houseH1004 shall be greater thanH1419 of the formerH7223, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: and in this placeH4725 will I giveH5414 peaceH7965, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
In the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the ninthH8671 month, in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of DariusH1867, came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 byH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; AskH7592 now the priestsH3548 concerning the lawH8451, sayingH559,
If oneH376 bearH5375 holyH6944 fleshH1320 in the skirtH3671 of his garmentH899, and with his skirtH3671 do touchH5060 breadH3899, or pottageH5138, or wineH3196, or oilH8081, or any meatH3978, shall it be holyH6942? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, No.
Then saidH559 HaggaiH2292, If one that is uncleanH2931 by a dead bodyH5315 touchH5060 any of these, shall it be uncleanH2930? And the priestsH3548 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It shall be uncleanH2930.
Then answeredH6030 HaggaiH2292, and saidH559, So is this peopleH5971, and so is this nationH1471 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; and so is every workH4639 of their handsH3027; and that which they offerH7126 there is uncleanH2931.
And now, I pray you, considerH7760+H3824 from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from beforeH2962 a stoneH68 was laidH7760 upon a stoneH68 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068:
Since those days were, when one cameH935 to an heapH6194 of twentyH6242 measures, there were but tenH6235: when one cameH935 to the pressfatH3342 for to draw outH2834 fiftyH2572 vessels out of the pressH6333, there were but twentyH6242.
I smoteH5221 you with blastingH7711 and with mildewH3420 and with hailH1259 in all the laboursH4639 of your handsH3027; yet ye turned not to me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
ConsiderH7760+H3824 now from this dayH3117 and upwardH4605, from the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the ninthH8671 month, even from the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the LORD'SH3068 templeH1964 was laid, considerH7760+H3824 it.
Is the seedH2233 yet in the barnH4035? yea, as yet the vineH1612, and the fig treeH8384, and the pomegranateH7416, and the oliveH2132 treeH6086, hath not brought forthH5375: from this dayH3117 will I blessH1288 you.
And againH8145 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto HaggaiH2292 in the fourH702 and twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 to ZerubbabelH2216, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776;
And I will overthrowH2015 the throneH3678 of kingdomsH4467, and I will destroyH8045 the strengthH2392 of the kingdomsH4467 of the heathenH1471; and I will overthrowH2015 the chariotsH4818, and those that rideH7392 in them; and the horsesH5483 and their ridersH7392 shall come downH3381, every oneH376 by the swordH2719 of his brotherH251.
In that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, will I takeH3947 thee, O ZerubbabelH2216, my servantH5650, the sonH1121 of ShealtielH7597, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and will makeH7760 thee as a signetH2368: for I have chosenH977 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.

Ye lookedH6437 for muchH7235, and, lo, it came to littleH4592; and when ye broughtH935 it homeH1004, I did blowH5301 upon it. Why? saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. BecauseH3282 of mine houseH1004 that is wasteH2720, and ye runH7323 every manH376 unto his own houseH1004. {blow…: or, blow it away}
Behold, to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256 I will cause it to rainH4305 a veryH3966 grievousH3515 hailH1259, such as hath not beenH3644 in EgyptH4714 sinceH4480 the foundationH3117+H3245 thereof even until now.
SendH7971 therefore now, and gatherH5756 thy cattleH4735, and all that thou hast in the fieldH7704; for upon every manH120 and beastH929 which shall be foundH4672 in the fieldH7704, and shall not be broughtH622 homeH1004, the hailH1259 shall come downH3381 upon them, and they shall dieH4191.
He that fearedH3373 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 among the servantsH5650 of PharaohH6547 made his servantsH5650 and his cattleH4735 fleeH5127 into the housesH1004:
And he that regardedH7760+H3820 not the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 leftH5800 his servantsH5650 and his cattleH4735 in the fieldH7704. {regarded…: Heb. set not his heart unto}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Stretch forthH5186 thine handH3027 toward heavenH8064, that there may be hailH1259 in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, upon manH120, and upon beastH929, and upon every herbH6212 of the fieldH7704, throughout the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his rodH4294 toward heavenH8064: and the LORDH3068 sentH5414 thunderH6963 and hailH1259, and the fireH784 ran alongH1980 upon the groundH776; and the LORDH3068 rainedH4305 hailH1259 upon the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
So there was hailH1259, and fireH784+H3947 mingledH8432 with the hailH1259, veryH3966 grievousH3515, such as there was noneH3808 like it in all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 since it became a nationH1471.
And the hailH1259 smoteH5221 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 all that was in the fieldH7704, both manH120 and beastH929; and the hailH1259 smoteH5221 every herbH6212 of the fieldH7704, and brakeH7665 every treeH6086 of the fieldH7704.
Only in the landH776 of GoshenH1657, where the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 were, was there no hailH1259.
And PharaohH6547 sentH7971, and calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and saidH559 unto them, I have sinnedH2398 this timeH6471: the LORDH3068 is righteousH6662, and I and my peopleH5971 are wickedH7563.
IntreatH6279 the LORDH3068 (for it is enoughH7227) that there be no more mightyH430 thunderingsH6963 and hailH1259; and I will let you goH7971, and ye shall stayH5975 no longerH3254. {mighty…: Heb. voices of God}
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto him, As soon as I am gone outH3318 of the cityH5892, I will spread abroadH6566 my handsH3709 unto the LORDH3068; and the thunderH6963 shall ceaseH2308, neither shall there be any more hailH1259; that thou mayest knowH3045 how that the earthH776 is the LORD'SH3068.
And I calledH7121 for a droughtH2721 upon the landH776, and upon the mountainsH2022, and upon the cornH1715, and upon the new wineH8492, and upon the oilH3323, and upon that which the groundH127 bringeth forthH3318, and upon menH120, and upon cattleH929, and upon all the labourH3018 of the handsH3709.
And in the timeH6256 of his distressH6887 did he trespassH4603 yet moreH3254 against the LORDH3068: this is that kingH4428 AhazH271.
And JosephH3130 was the governorH7989 over the landH776, and he it was that soldH7666 to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776: and Joseph'sH3130 brethrenH251 cameH935, and bowed downH7812 themselves before him with their facesH639 to the earthH776.
Behold, the LordH136 hath a mightyH2389 and strong oneH533, which as a tempestH2230 of hailH1259 and a destroyingH6986 stormH8178, as a floodH2230 of mightyH3524 watersH4325 overflowingH7857, shall cast downH3240 to the earthH776 with the handH3027.
He gaveH5414 also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpillerH2625, and their labourH3018 unto the locustH697.
But the hypocritesH2611 in heartH3820 heap upH7760 wrathH639: they cryH7768 not when he bindethH631 them.
And they knewH3045 not that JosephH3130 understoodH8085 them; for he spake unto them by an interpreterH3887. {he spake…: Heb. an interpreter was between them}
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 by his right handH3225, and by the armH2220 of his strengthH5797, Surely I willH518 no more giveH5414 thy cornH1715 to be meatH3978 for thine enemiesH341; and the sonsH1121 of the strangerH5236 shall not drinkH8354 thy wineH8492, for the which thou hast labouredH3021: {Surely…: Heb. If I give, etc}
For the peopleH5971 turnethH7725 not unto him that smitethH5221 them, neither do they seekH1875 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
And as oneH259 of them openedH6605 his sackH8242 to giveH5414 his assH2543 provenderH4554 in the innH4411, he espiedH7200 his moneyH3701; for, behold, it was in his sack'sH572 mouthH6310.
For shameH1322 hath devouredH398 the labourH3018 of our fathersH1 from our youthH5271; their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323.
Therefore he hath pouredH8210 upon him the furyH2534 of his angerH639, and the strengthH5807 of battleH4421: and it hath set him on fireH3857 round aboutH5439, yet he knewH3045 not; and it burnedH1197 him, yet he laidH7760 it not to heartH3820.
The LORDH3068 shall smiteH5221 thee with a consumptionH7829, and with a feverH6920, and with an inflammationH1816, and with an extreme burningH2746, and with the swordH2719, and with blastingH7711, and with mildewH3420; and they shall pursueH7291 thee until thou perishH6. {sword: or, drought}
O LORDH3068, are not thine eyesH5869 upon the truthH530? thou hast strickenH5221 them, but they have not grievedH2342; thou hast consumedH3615 them, but they have refusedH3985 to receiveH3947 correctionH4148: they have made their facesH6440 harderH2388 than a rockH5553; they have refusedH3985 to returnH7725.
If there be in the landH776 famineH7458, if there be pestilenceH1698, blastingH7711, mildewH3420, locustH697, or if there be caterpillerH2625; if their enemyH341 besiegeH6887 them in the landH776 of their citiesH8179; whatsoever plagueH5061, whatsoever sicknessH4245 there be; {cities: or, jurisdiction}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, StandH5975 ye in the waysH1870, and seeH7200, and askH7592 for the oldH5769 pathsH5410, where is the goodH2896 wayH1870, and walkH3212 therein, and ye shall findH4672 restH4771 for your soulsH5315. But they saidH559, We will not walkH3212 therein.
If there be dearthH7458 in the landH776, if there be pestilenceH1698, if there be blastingH7711, or mildewH3420, locustsH697, or caterpillersH2625; if their enemiesH341 besiegeH6887 them in the citiesH8179 of their landH776; whatsoever soreH5061 or whatsoever sicknessH4245 there be: {in the cities…: Heb. in the land of their gates}
Also I setH6965 watchmenH6822 over you, saying, HearkenH7181 to the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782. But they saidH559, We will not hearkenH7181.
Therefore their inhabitantsH3427 were of smallH7116 powerH3027, they were dismayedH2865 and confoundedH954: they were as the grassH6212 of the fieldH7704, and as the greenH3419 herbH1877, as the grassH2682 on the housetopsH1406, and as corn blastedH7709 beforeH6440 it be grown upH7054. {of small…: Heb. short of hand}
Moreover thou shalt sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Shall they fallH5307, and not ariseH6965? shall he turn awayH7725, and not returnH7725?
Why then is this peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389 slidden backH7725 by a perpetualH5329 backslidingH4878? they holdH2388 fast deceitH8649, they refuseH3985 to returnH7725.
I hearkenedH7181 and heardH8085, but they spake not arightH1696: no manH376 repentedH5162 him ofH5921 his wickednessH7451, sayingH559, What have I doneH6213? every one turnedH7725 to his courseH4794, as the horseH5483 rushethH7857 into the battleH4421.
Yea, the storkH2624 in the heavenH8064 knowethH3045 her appointed timesH4150; and the turtleH8449 and the craneH5483 and the swallowH5693 observeH8104 the timeH6256 of their comingH935; but my peopleH5971 knowH3045 not the judgmentH4941 of the LORDH3068.
I have smittenH5221 you with blastingH7711 and mildewH3420: when your gardensH1593 and your vineyardsH3754 and your fig treesH8384 and your olive treesH2132 increasedH7235, the palmerwormH1501 devouredH398 them: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {when…: or, the multitude of your gardens, etc. did the palmerworm}
StrangersH2114 have devouredH398 his strengthH3581, and he knowethH3045 it not: yea, gray hairsH7872 are here and thereH2236 upon him, yet he knowethH3045 not. {here…: Heb. sprinkled}
And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 testifiethH6030 to his faceH6440: and they do not returnH7725 to the LORDH3068 their GodH430, nor seekH1245 him for all this.
So twoH8147 or threeH7969 citiesH5892 wanderedH5128 unto oneH259 cityH5892, to drinkH8354 waterH4325; but they were not satisfiedH7646: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
I have smittenH5221 you with blastingH7711 and mildewH3420: when your gardensH1593 and your vineyardsH3754 and your fig treesH8384 and your olive treesH2132 increasedH7235, the palmerwormH1501 devouredH398 them: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {when…: or, the multitude of your gardens, etc. did the palmerworm}
I have sentH7971 among you the pestilenceH1698 after the mannerH1870 of EgyptH4714: your young menH970 have I slainH2026 with the swordH2719, and have taken awayH7628 your horsesH5483; and I have made the stinkH889 of your campsH4264 to come upH5927 unto your nostrilsH639: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {after…: or, in the way} {and have…: Heb. with the captivity of your horses}
I have overthrownH2015 some of you, as GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and ye were as a firebrandH181 plucked outH5337 of the burningH8316: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
The LORDH3068 hath been soreH7110 displeasedH7107 with your fathersH1. {sore…: Heb. with displeasure}
Therefore sayH559 thou unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and I will turnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Be ye not as your fathersH1, unto whom the formerH7223 prophetsH5030 have criedH7121, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; TurnH7725 ye now from your evilH7451 waysH1870, and from your evilH7451 doingsH4611: but they did not hearH8085, nor hearkenH7181 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Thus speakethH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, ExecuteH8199 trueH571 judgmentH4941, and shewH6213 mercyH2617 and compassionsH7356 every manH376 to his brotherH251: {Execute…: Heb. Judge judgment of truth}
And oppressH6231 not the widowH490, nor the fatherlessH3490, the strangerH1616, nor the poorH6041; and let none of you imagineH2803 evilH7451 againstH376 his brotherH251 in your heartH3824.
But they refusedH3985 to hearkenH7181, and pulled awayH5414+H5637 the shoulderH3802, and stoppedH3513 their earsH241, that they should not hearH8085. {pulled…: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder} {stopped: Heb. made heavy}
Yea, they madeH7760 their heartsH3820 as an adamant stoneH8068, lest they should hearH8085 the lawH8451, and the wordsH1697 which the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath sentH7971 in his spiritH7307 byH3027 the formerH7223 prophetsH5030: therefore came a greatH1419 wrathH7110 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
Therefore it is come to pass, that as he criedH7121, and they would not hearH8085; so they criedH7121, and I would not hearH8085, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635:
AndG2532 I gaveG1325 herG846 spaceG5550 toG2443 repentG3340 ofG1537 herG846 fornicationG4202; andG2532 she repentedG3340 notG3756.
AndG2532 the restG3062 of the menG444 whichG3739 wereG615 notG3756 killedG615 byG1722 theseG5025 plaguesG4127 yetG3777 repentedG3340 notG3777 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of theirG846 handsG5495, thatG3363 they shouldG4352 notG3363 worshipG4352 devilsG1140, andG2532 idolsG1497 of goldG5552, andG2532 silverG693, andG2532 brassG5470, andG2532 stoneG3035, andG2532 of woodG3585: whichG3739 neitherG3777 canG1410 seeG991, norG3777 hearG191, norG3777 walkG4043:
