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.
