Haggai 2:16-23 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
16
how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten; when one came to the winevat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty.
17
I smote you and all the products of your toil with blight and mildew and hail; yet you did not return to me, says the LORD.
18
Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider:
19
Is the seed yet in the barn? Do the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree still yield nothing? From this day on I will bless you."
20
The word of the LORD came a second time to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month,
21
"Speak to Zerub'babel, governor of Judah, saying, I am about to shake the heavens and the earth,
22
and to overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and overthrow the chariots and their riders; and the horses and their riders shall go down, every one by the sword of his fellow.
23
On that day, says the LORD of hosts, I will take you, O Zerub'babel my servant, the son of She-al'ti-el, says the LORD, and make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you, says the LORD of hosts."
