Contextual Overview

¹In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest: ²“The Lord of Armies says this: These people say: The time has not come for the house of the Lord to be rebuilt.” ³The word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: ⁴“Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?” ⁵Now, the Lord of Armies says this: “Think carefully about your ways: ⁶You have planted muchbut harvested little.You eatbut never have enough to be satisfied.You drinkbut never have enough to be happy.You put on clothesbut never have enough to get warm.The wage earner puts his wagesinto a bag with a hole in it.” ⁷The Lord of Armies says this: “Think carefully about your ways. ⁸Go up into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house; and I will be pleased with it and be glorified,” says the Lord. ⁹“You expected much, but then it amounted to little. When you brought the harvest to your house, I ruined it. Why?” This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies. “Because my house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house. ¹⁰So on your account,the skies have withheld the dewand the land its crops.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet,.... This is a second prophecy, distinct from the former; that was delivered to the two governors, setting forth the sentiments and language of the people concerning the building of the temple, which was left with them to consider how just it was; but this is sent to the people themselves, expostulating with them about the folly and ingratitude of it:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And the word of the Lord came - ^o “Before, he prophesied nothing, but only recited the saying of the people; now he refutes it in his prophecy, and repeats, again and again, that he says this not of himself, but from the mind and mouth of God.” It is characteristic of Haggai to inculcate thus frequently, that his words are not his own, but the words of God. Yet “the prophets, both in their threats and prophecies, repeat again and again, “Thus saith the Lord,” teaching us, how we should prize the word of God, hang upon it, have it ever in our mouth, reverence, ruminate on, utter, praise it, make it our continual delight.”
