Haggai 1:1-4

1 In the second year of Darius [a] the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by [b] the prophet Haggai unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,
2 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.
3 And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted [c] houses, while this house lieth waste?
