1 In the second year of Darius the king , in the sixth month , in the first day of the month , came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel , governor of Judah , and to Joshua the son of Josedech , the high priest , saying  2 So speaks the LORD of hosts , saying , This people say , The time is not come , the time that the LORD'S house should be built  3 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet , saying  4 [Is it] time for you, O you, to dwell in your cieled houses , and this house [lie] waste  5 Now therefore so says the LORD of hosts Consider  your ways  6 You have sown much , and bring in little ; you eat , but you have not enough ; you drink , but you are not filled with drink ; you clothe you, but there is none warm ; and he that earns wages earns wages [to put it] into a bag with holes  7 So says the LORD of hosts Consider  your ways  8 Go up to the mountain , and bring wood , and build the house ; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified , says the LORD  9 You looked for much , and, lo, [it came] to little ; and when you brought [it] home , I did blow on it. Why? says the LORD of hosts . Because of mine house that [is] waste , and you run every man to his own house  10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew , and the earth is stayed [from] her fruit  11 And I called for a drought on the land , and on the mountains , and on the corn , and on the new wine , and on the oil , and on [that] which the ground brings forward , and on men , and on cattle , and on all the labour of the hands  12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel , and Joshua the son of Josedech , the high priest , with all the remnant of the people , obeyed the voice of the LORD their God , and the words of Haggai the prophet , as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD  13 Then spoke Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message to the people , saying , I [am] with you, says the LORD  14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel , governor of Judah , and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech , the high priest , and the spirit of all the remnant of the people ; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts , their God  15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month , in the second year of Darius the king
