thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain. : I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD. : The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their

Haggai : 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 unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying, : Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010507
people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORDs house should be built. : Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, : Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? : Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010508
: Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. : Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. : Go
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010509
up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD. : Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010510
waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. : Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. : And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010511
ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands. : 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
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010512
had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD. : Then spake Haggai the LORDs messenger in the LORDs message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD. : 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
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010513
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, : In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. : In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010514
month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying, : Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, : Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010515
see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? : Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010516
: According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. : For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; : And I will
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010517
shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. : The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. : The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010518
this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts. : In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, : Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, : If one bear holy flesh
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010519
in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No. : Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010520
It shall be unclean. : Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean. : And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010521
stone in the temple of the LORD: : Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty. : I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010522
labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD. : Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORDs temple was laid, consider it. : Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010523
the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you. : And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, : Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; : And
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010524
I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. : In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010525
thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts. Zechariah : In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010526
: The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers. : Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. : Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010527
LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD. : Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? : But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010528
of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us. : Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010529
the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, : I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. : Then said I, O my lord, what are
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010530
these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be. : And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. : And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010531
myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. : Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010532
threescore and ten years? : And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words. : So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. : And I am very sore displeased
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010533
with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. : Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. : Cry yet, saying, Thus saith
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010534
the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. : Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. : And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010535
which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. : And the LORD shewed me four carpenters. : Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010536
which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. : I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. : Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010537
thereof. : And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, : And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: : For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010538
of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. : Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. : Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. : For
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010539
thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. : For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010540
me. : Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. : And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010541
hosts hath sent me unto thee. : And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. : Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation. : And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010542
Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. : And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? : Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. : And he answered and spake
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010543
unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. : And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010544
and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by. : And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, : Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010545
will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. : Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. : For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010546
eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. : In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree. : And the angel that talked with me came again, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010547
waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. : And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010548
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. : So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? : Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be?
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010549
And I said, No, my lord. : Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. : Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010550
headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. : Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, : The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. : For who hath despised the day of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010551
small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. : Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010552
side thereof? : And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? : And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. : Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010553
stand by the LORD of the whole earth. : Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. : And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. : Then said he unto me, This
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010554
is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. : I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010555
into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. : Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010556
see what is this that goeth forth. : And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. : And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010557
And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. : Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork:
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010558
and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. : Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? : And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base. : And I
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010559
turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. : In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; : And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. : Then
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010560
I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? : And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the LORD of all the earth. : The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010561
white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country. : And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. : Then cried he
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010562
upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. : And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, : Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010563
and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; : Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; : And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010564
up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: : Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. : And the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010565
crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD. : And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010566
shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God. : And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu; : When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010567
and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD, : And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years? : Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010568
me, saying, : Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? : And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010569
for yourselves? : Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain? : And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying, : Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010570
true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: : And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. : But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010571
Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts. : Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010572
cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts: : But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate. : Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010573
saying, : Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. : Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010574
the holy mountain. : Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. : And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. : Thus saith the LORD
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010575
of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts. : Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; : And I will bring them, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010576
they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. : Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010577
the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. : For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour. : But
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010578
now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. : For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010579
these things. : And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong. : For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when
60
gutenberg
twg_000000010580
your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not: : So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. : These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of
