In the
second year of
Darius the
king, on the
first day of the
sixth month, the
word of the
LORD came by the
prophet Haggai to
Zerubbabel the
son of
Shealtiel,
governor of
Judah, and to
Joshua the
son of
Jehozadak, the
high priest,
saying,

"Thus says the
LORD of
hosts,
'This people says, "The
time has not
come, even the
time for the
house of the
LORD to be
rebuilt.""'

"You have
sown much, but
harvest little; you
eat, but there is not enough to be
satisfied; you
drink, but there is not enough to
become drunk; you
put on
clothing, but
no one is
warm enough; and he who
earns,
earns wages to put into a
purse with
holes."
