37:002:013 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch
any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered
and said, It shall be unclean.
37:002:014 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is
this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of
their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
37:002:015 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from
before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the
LORD:
37:002:016 Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
37:002:017 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all
the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the
LORD.
37:002:018 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and
twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the
foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.
37:002:019 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig
tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not
brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
37:002:020 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four
and twentieth day of the month, saying,
37:002:021 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake
the heavens and the earth;
37:002:022 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
