1 2 
2:1 On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai:
2:2 'Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people. Ask them,
2:3 'Who of you is left who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing?
2:4 But now be strong, O Zerubbabel,' declares the Lord. 'Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the Lord , 'and work. For I am with you,' declares the Lord Almighty.
2:5 'This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.'
2:6 'This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
2:7 I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the Lord Almighty.
2:8 'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the Lord Almighty.
2:9 'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the Lord Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the Lord Almighty.'
2:10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Haggai:
2:11 'This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'Ask the priests what the law says:
2:12 If a person carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine, oil or other food, does it become consecrated?' ' The priests answered, 'No.'
2:13 Then Haggai said, 'If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?' 'Yes,' the priests replied, 'it becomes defiled.'
2:14 Then Haggai said, ' 'So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,' declares the Lord. 'Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled.
2:15 ' 'Now give careful thought to this from this day on -consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in the Lord 's temple.
2:16 When anyone came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When anyone went to a wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty.
2:17 I struck all the work of your hands with blight, mildew and hail, yet you did not turn to me,' declares the Lord.
2:18 'From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the Lord 's temple was laid. Give careful thought:
2:19 Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. ' 'From this day on I will bless you.' '
2:20 The word of the Lord came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month:
2:21 'Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I will shake the heavens and the earth.
2:22 I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.
2:23 ' 'On that day,' declares the Lord Almighty, 'I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,' declares the Lord , 'and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,' declares the Lord Almighty.'
