Contextual Overview

1 In the second year of Daryavesh the king, on the first day of the sixth month, the following word of Adonai came through Hagai the prophet to Z'rubavel the son of Sh'alti'el, governor of Y'hudah, and to Y'hoshua the son of Y'hotzadak, the cohen hagadol: 2 "Here is what Adonai -Tzva'ot says: ‘This people is saying that now isn't the time — the time hasn't yet arrived for Adonai 's house to be rebuilt.'" 3 Then this word of Adonai came through Hagai the prophet: 4 "So is now the time for you to be living in your own paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? 5 Therefore here is what Adonai -Tzva'ot says: ‘Think about your life! 6 You sow much but bring in little; you eat but aren't satisfied; you drink but never have enough; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who works for a living earns wages that are put in a bag full of holes.'" 7 "Here is what Adonai -Tzva'ot says: ‘Think about your life! 8 Go up into the hills, get wood, and rebuild the house. I will be pleased with that, and then I will be glorified,' says Adonai . 9 ‘You looked for much, but it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?' asks Adonai -Tzva'ot. ‘Because my house lies in ruins, while every one of you runs to take care of his own house. 10 This is why the sky above you has withheld the dew, so that there is none, and the land withholds its yield.
