Why? saith the LORD of\n           hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every\n           man unto his own house.\n\n37:001:010 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the\n           earth is stayed from her fruit.\n\n37:001:011 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the\n           mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon\n           the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and\n           upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the\n           hands.\n\n37:001:012 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of\n           Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people,\n           obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of\n           Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and\n           the people did fear before the LORD.\n\n37:001:013 Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message\n           unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.\n\n37:001:014 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of\n           Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son\n           of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the\n           remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house\n           of the LORD of hosts, their God,\n\n37:001:015 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the\n           second year of Darius the king.\n\n37:002:001 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the\n           month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai,\n           saying,\n\n37:002:002 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of\n           Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and\n           to the residue of the people, saying,\n\n37:002:003 Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory?\n           and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison\n           of it as nothing?\n\n37:002:004 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be\n           strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be\n           strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work:\n           for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:\n\n37:002:005 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came\n           out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.\n\n37:002:006 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little\n           while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the\n           sea, and the dry land;\n\n37:002:007 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations\n           shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the\n           LORD of hosts.\n\n37:002:008 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of\n           hosts.\n\n37:002:009 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the\n           former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give\n           peace, saith the LORD of hosts.\n\n37:002:010 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the\n           second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the\n           prophet, saying,\n\n37:002:011 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning\n           the law, saying,\n\n37:002:012 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with\n           his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any\n           meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.\n\n37:002:013 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch\n           any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered\n           and said, It shall be unclean.\n\n37:002:014 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is\n           this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of\n           their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.\n\n37:002:015 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from\n           before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the\n           LORD:\n\n37:002:016 Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty\n           measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat\n           for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but\n           twenty.\n\n37:002:017 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all\n           the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the\n           LORD.\n\n37:002:018 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and\n           twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the\n           foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.\n\n37:002:019 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig\n           tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not\n           brought forth: from this day will I bless you.\n\n37:002:020 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four\n           and twentieth day of the month, saying,\n\n37:002:021 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake\n           the heavens and the earth;\n\n37:002:022 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will\n           destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I\n           will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and\n           the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the\n           sword of his brother.\n\n37:002:023 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O\n           Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD,\n           and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith\n           the LORD of hosts.","title":"The Bible, King James version, Book 37: Haggai","tradition":"scripture-revelation","translated_text":null,"word_count":1197}
