Haggai 2 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 in the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet,
2 "Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say,
3 `Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not in your sight as nothing?
4 Yet now take courage, O Zerubbabel, says the LORD; take courage, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; take courage, all you people of the land, says the LORD; work, for I am with you, says the LORD of hosts,
5 according to the promise that I made you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit abides among you; fear not.
6 For thus says the LORD of hosts: Once again, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land;
7 and I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the LORD of hosts.
8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts.
9 The latter splendor of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts; and in this place I will give prosperity, says the LORD of hosts.'"
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet,
11 "Thus says the LORD of hosts: Ask the priests to decide this question,
12 `If one carries holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and touches with his skirt bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any kind of food, does it become holy?'" The priests answered, "No."
13 Then said Haggai, "If one who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, does it become unclean?" The priests answered, "It does become unclean."
14 Then Haggai said, "So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, says the LORD; and so with every work of their hands; and what they offer there is unclean.
15 Pray now, consider what will come to pass from this day onward. Before a stone was placed upon a stone in the temple of the LORD,
16 how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty.
17 I smote you and all the products of your toil with blight and mildew and hail; yet you did not return to me, says the LORD.
18 Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider:
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still yield nothing? From this day on I will bless you."
20 The word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month,
21 "Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I am about to shake the heavens and the earth,
22 and to overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and overthrow the chariots and their riders; and the horses and their riders shall go down, every one by the sword of his fellow.
23 On that day, says the LORD of hosts, I will take you, O Zerubbabel my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the LORD, and make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you, says the LORD of hosts."
1 In the seventh H7637 month , in the one H259 and twentieth H6242 day of the month, H2320 came H1961 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by H3027 the prophet H5030 Haggai, H2292 saying, H559
2 Speak H559 now H4994 to H413 Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel, H7597 governor H6346 of Judah, H3063 and to H413 Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Josedech, H3087 the high H1419 priest, H3548 and to H413 the residue H7611 of the people, H5971 saying, H559
3 Who H4310 is left H7604 among you that H834 saw H7200 H853 this H2088 house H1004 in her first H7223 glory H3519 ? and how H4100 do ye H859 see H7200 it now H6258 ? is it not H3808 in your eyes H5869 in comparison of it H3644 as nothing H369 ?
4 Yet now H6258 be strong, H2388 O Zerubbabel, H2216 saith H5002 the LORD; H3068 and be strong, H2388 O Joshua, H3091 son H1121 of Josedech, H3087 the high H1419 priest; H3548 and be strong, H2388 all H3605 ye people H5971 of the land, H776 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 and work: H6213 for H3588 I H589 am with H854 you, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts: H6635
5 According to H853 the word H1697 that H834 I covenanted H3772 with H854 you when ye came out H3318 of Egypt H4480 H4714 , so my spirit H7307 remaineth H5975 among H8432 you: fear H3372 ye not. H408
6 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts; H6635 Yet H5750 once, H259 it H1931 is a little while, H4592 and I H589 will shake H7493 H853 the heavens, H8064 and the earth, H776 and the sea, H3220 and the dry H2724 land ;
7 And I will shake H7493 H853 all H3605 nations, H1471 and the desire H2532 of all H3605 nations H1471 shall come: H935 and I will fill H4390 H853 this H2088 house H1004 with glory, H3519 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635
8 The silver H3701 is mine , and the gold H2091 is mine, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635
9 The glory H3519 of this H2088 latter H314 house H1004 shall be H1961 greater H1419 than H4480 of the former, H7223 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts: H6635 and in this H2088 place H4725 will I give H5414 peace, H7965 saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635
10 In the four H702 and twentieth H6242 day of the ninth H8671 month , in the second H8147 year H8141 of Darius, H1867 came H1961 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 by H413 Haggai H2292 the prophet, H5030 saying, H559
11 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts; H6635 Ask H7592 now H4994 H853 the priests H3548 concerning the law, H8451 saying, H559
12 If H2005 one H376 bear H5375 holy H6944 flesh H1320 in the skirt H3671 of his garment, H899 and with his skirt H3671 do touch H5060 H413 bread, H3899 or pottage, H5138 or wine, H3196 or oil, H8081 or any H3605 meat, H3978 shall it be holy H6942 ? And the priests H3548 answered H6030 and said, H559 No. H3808
13 Then said H559 Haggai, H2292 If H518 one that is unclean H2931 by a dead body H5315 touch H5060 any H3605 of these, H428 shall it be unclean H2930 ? And the priests H3548 answered H6030 and said, H559 It shall be unclean. H2930
14 Then answered H6030 Haggai, H2292 and said, H559 So H3651 is this H2088 people, H5971 and so H3651 is this H2088 nation H1471 before H6440 me, saith H5002 the LORD; H3068 and so H3651 is every H3605 work H4639 of their hands; H3027 and that which H834 they offer H7126 there H8033 is unclean. H2931
15 And now, H6258 I pray you, H4994 consider H7760 H3824 from H4480 this H2088 day H3117 and upward, H4605 from before H4480 H2962 a stone H68 was laid H7760 upon H413 a stone H68 in the temple H1964 of the LORD: H3068
16 Since those days were H4480 H1961 , when one came H935 to H413 a heap H6194 of twenty H6242 measures , there were H1961 but ten: H6235 when one came H935 to H413 the wine vat H3342 for to draw out H2834 fifty H2572 vessels out of the press, H6333 there were H1961 but twenty. H6242
17 I smote H5221 you with blasting H7711 and with mildew H3420 and with hail H1259 in H854 all H3605 the labors H4639 of your hands; H3027 yet ye turned not H369 to H413 me, saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
18 Consider H7760 H3824 now H4994 from H4480 this H2088 day H3117 and upward, H4605 from the four H702 and twentieth H6242 day H4480 H3117 of the ninth H8671 month, even from H4480 the day H3117 that H834 the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid H3245 H1964, H3068 consider H7760 H3824 it .
19 Is the seed H2233 yet H5750 in the barn H4035 ? yea , as yet H5704 the vine, H1612 and the fig tree, H8384 and the pomegranate, H7416 and the olive H2132 tree, H6086 hath not H3808 brought forth: H5375 from H4480 this H2088 day H3117 will I bless H1288 you .
20 And again H8145 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Haggai H2292 in the four H702 and twentieth H6242 day of the month, H2320 saying, H559
21 Speak H559 to H413 Zerubbabel, H2216 governor H6346 of Judah, H3063 saying, H559 I H589 will shake H7493 H853 the heavens H8064 and the earth; H776
22 And I will overthrow H2015 the throne H3678 of kingdoms, H4467 and I will destroy H8045 the strength H2392 of the kingdoms H4467 of the heathen; H1471 and I will overthrow H2015 the chariots, H4818 and those that ride H7392 in them ; and the horses H5483 and their riders H7392 shall come down, H3381 every one H376 by the sword H2719 of his brother. H251
23 In that H1931 day, H3117 saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 will I take H3947 thee , O Zerubbabel, H2216 my servant, H5650 the son H1121 of Shealtiel, H7597 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 and will make H7760 thee as a signet: H2368 for H3588 I have chosen H977 thee, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts.
