¹ In the second yeere of Darius the king, in the sixt moneth, in the first day of the moneth came the worde of the Lord by Haggai the Prophet vnto Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, gouernour of Iudah, and to Iosuah the sonne of Iosedech the high priest, saying;

² Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, saying; This people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lords house should be built.

³ Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying;

⁴ Is it time for you, O yee, to dwell in your sieled houses, and this house lie waste?

⁵ Nowe therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes; Consider your wayes.

⁶ Yee haue sowen much and bring in litle: ye eate, but ye haue not inough: yee drinke, but yee are not filled with drinke: yee cloth you, but there is none warme: and hee that earneth wages, earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.

⁷ ¶ Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Consider your wayes.

⁸ Goe vp to the mountaine, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord.

⁹ Ye looked for much, and loe it came to litle: and when yee brought it home, I did blow vpon it: Why, saith the Lord of hostes? because of mine house that is waste, and yee runne euery man vnto his owne house.

¹⁰ Therefore the heauen ouer you is stayed from dew, and the earth is staied from her fruite.

¹¹ And I called for a drought vpon the land and vpon the mountaines, and vpon the corne, and vpon the new wine, and vpon the oyle, and vpon that which the ground bringeth forth, & vpon men, and vpon cattell, and vpon all the labour of the hands.

¹² ¶ Then Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Iosuah the sonne of Iosedech the high priest, with all the remnant of the people obeyed the voyce of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the Prophet (as the Lord their God had sent him) and the people did feare before the Lord.

¹³ Then spake Haggai the Lords messenger in the Lords message vnto the people, saying; I am with you, saith the Lord.

¹⁴ And the Lord stirred vp the spirit of Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel gouernour of Iudah, and the spirit of Iosuah the sonne of Iosedech the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came and did worke in the house of the Lord of hostes their God:

¹⁵ In the foure and twentieth day of the sixt moneth, in the second yeere of Darius the King.

John's Haggai Chapter 1 comment about verse 6 on 3/05/2013, 6:45pm...

I know the scripture and there are plenty of wealthy people who do not believe or acknowledge GOD. Yet they continue to prosper. I believe this scripture says a person can do all hard work yet, he will never be content- meaning satisfied. Satisfy also means to pay or compensate; doing a great job and feeling satisfied far outweighs doing a bad job and getting paid.

Matthew 6:33, But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

How much do you know of GOD in your life?

Steven Douglas's Haggai Chapter 1 comment about verse 6 on 2/09/2013, 1:55am...

Haggai 1:6 describes the systems of any society that disobeys Deuteronomy 25:15 and Leviticus 19:35 (just weights and just measures). When money is debased, as it has been in all countries and throughout recorded history, and is now happening all over the world, those who sow much (gross) bring in little (net). Those who eat are not satisfied, and those who earn wages earn them only to put them into a bag full of holes. Jesus' instruction to "be content with your wages" is made difficult when the value of those wages are continuously and invisibly siphoned away, only to be given to others without the wage earner's knowledge or consent.

B Mn's Haggai Chapter 1 comment on 1/19/2013, 9:44am...

God is telling Haggai, I believe, that our house is His house, the time is short for us, all, to recognize that and act accordingly. This should be adhered to, time to close your "house" to outside world and open your house to God. He will Always be there for you/us.

ESTHER's Haggai Chapter 1 comment on 1/15/2013, 7:15am...

Haggai 1 is so touching and I believe when God was speaking to Haggai, he had seen the wickedness of the Israelites. Most of us we think of ourselves and concentrate on our lives, only forgetting that there is God and it's all about God. And Haggai is saying, let’s keep away from sin for our body is the temple of the Most High so preparing God a HOUSE IS TO REMAIN CLEAN; FOR GOD DOES NOT STAY IN A DIRTY PLACE.

Joyce Kennell's Haggai Chapter 1 comment about verse 6 on 12/19/2012, 3:09pm...

My thought on Haggai verse 6, you must put God first in all things when you plant ask him to help grow in my walk with him I think I am on the right track but could help me out and with this verse it something to think about. Thanks...Joyce

Denah's Haggai Chapter 1 comment on 12/05/2012, 10:56am...

Living in the 21st century, Haggai 1 is a warning to all of us. We are spending less time in seeking the Lord, reading His word, and doing His command. We are too busy doing things for our own, accumulating wealth, garnering education, position but there is still something lacking and that is our relationship with our Maker, our Redeemer and Friend. Let us wake up and listen to the WARNING of HAGGAI 1.
