The Builders Encouraged

Hag 2:1

Hag 2:1

On the twenty-first of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

Hag 2:2

Hag 2:2“Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

Hag 2:3

Hag 2:3‘Who is left among you who saw this [fn]temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? [fn]Does it not seem to you like nothing [fn]in comparison?

Hag 2:4

Hag 2:4‘But now [fn]take courage, Zerubbabel,’ declares the LORD, ‘take courage also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all you people of the land take courage,’ declares the LORD, ‘and work; for I am with you,’ declares the LORD of armies.

Hag 2:5

Hag 2:5‘As for the [fn]promise which I [fn]made you when you came out of Egypt, [fn]My Spirit remains in your midst; do not fear!’

Hag 2:6

Hag 2:6“For this is what the LORD of armies says: ‘Once more [fn]in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land.

Hag 2:7

Hag 2:7‘I will shake all the nations; and [fn]they will come with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the LORD of armies.

Hag 2:8

Hag 2:8‘The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the LORD of armies.

Hag 2:9

Hag 2:9‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of armies, ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ declares the LORD of armies.”

Hag 2:10

Hag 2:10

On the twenty-fourth of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Haggai the prophet, saying,

Hag 2:11

Hag 2:11“The LORD of armies says this: ‘Now ask the priests for a [fn]ruling:

Hag 2:12

Hag 2:12‘If someone carries holy meat in the [fn]fold of his garment, and touches bread with [fn]this fold, or touches cooked food, wine, oil, or any other food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered, “No.”

Hag 2:13

Hag 2:13Then Haggai said, “If one who is unclean from a [fn]corpse touches any of these things, will the latter become unclean?” And the priests answered, “It will become unclean.”

Hag 2:14

Hag 2:14Then Haggai responded and said, “‘So is this people. And so is this nation before Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘and so is every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.

Hag 2:15

Hag 2:15‘But now, do [fn]consider from this day [fn]onward: before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the LORD,

Hag 2:16

Hag 2:16[fn]from that time when one came to a grain heap of twenty measures, there would be only ten; and when one came to the wine vat to draw fifty [fn]measures, there would be only twenty.

Hag 2:17

Hag 2:17‘I struck you and every work of your hands with scorching wind, mildew, and hail; [fn]yet you did not come back to Me,’ declares the LORD.

Hag 2:18

Hag 2:18‘Do [fn]consider from this day [fn]onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the LORD was founded, [fn]consider:

Hag 2:19

Hag 2:19‘Is the seed still in the barn? Even including the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree, it has not produced fruit. Yet from this day on I will bless you.’”

Hag 2:20

Hag 2:20

Then the word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,

Hag 2:21

Hag 2:21“Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying, ‘I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.

Hag 2:22

Hag 2:22‘And I will overthrow the thrones of kingdoms and destroy the power of the kingdoms of the [fn]nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and their riders, and the horses and their riders will go down, every one by the sword of another.’

Hag 2:23

Hag 2:23‘On that day,’ declares the LORD of armies, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant,’ declares the LORD, ‘and I will make you like a [fn]signet ring, for I have chosen you,’” declares the LORD of armies.
