1 In the asecond° year° of Darius° the king°, on the first° day° of the sixth° month°, the word° of the LORD° came° by the prophet° bHaggai° to cZerubbabel° the son° of Shealtiel°, dgovernor° of Judah°, and to eJoshua° the son° of Jehozadak°, the high° priest°, saying°, 2 “Thus° says° the LORD° of Ihosts°, ‘This° people° says°, “The time° has not come°, [even] the time° for the house° of the LORD° to be rebuilt°.”’” 3 Then the word° of the LORD° came° by Haggai° the prophet°, saying°, 4 “Is it time° for you yourselves° to dwell° in your paneled° houses° while this° house° a[lies] desolate°?” 5 Now° therefore, thus° says° the LORD° of hosts°, “IConsider°°° your ways°! 6 You have asown° much°, but Iharvest° little°; [you] eat°, but [there is] not [enough] to be satisfied°; [you] drink°, but [there is] IInot [enough] to become° drunk°; [you] put° on clothing°, but no° one° is warm° [enough]; and he who earns°, earns° wages° [to put] into a purse° with holes°.”
