1^aIn the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to ^bZerubbabel the son of ^cShealtiel, governor of Judah, and to ^dJoshua the son of ^eJehozadak, the high priest: ²“Thus says the Lord of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.” ³Then the word of the Lord came ^fby the hand of Haggai the prophet, ⁴^g“Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while ^hthis house lies in ruins? ⁵Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: ⁱConsider your ways. ⁶^jYou have sown much, and harvested little. ^kYou eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who ^learns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

⁷“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ⁱConsider your ways. ⁸Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that ^mI may take pleasure in it and that ⁿI may be glorified, says the Lord. ⁹^jYou looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, ^oI blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house ^hthat lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.
