Haggai 1:1–11 In the second year of Darius the King, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest: This is what the Sovereign LORD says: These people say that the time has not yet come to rebuild the LORD’s house. Then the word of the LORD came by the prophet Haggai: Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? Now this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Consider your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough. You drink, but you never have your fill. You put on clothing, but no one is warm. You earn wages, only to put them in money bags with holes. This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Consider your ways. Go up to the mountains and bring down wood and build the house, so that I may be pleased with it and be glorified, says the LORD. You expected much, but instead, it came to little. And what you brought home, I blew away. Why? declares the Sovereign LORD. Because of my house, which lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house. Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth has withheld its produce. I called for a drought on the land and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the oil and everything the ground produces, on men and cattle, and on all of their labors. Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the words of the prophet Haggai, as the LORD their God had sent him. And the people feared the LORD.
