Haggai 1:1–2:23
1In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying, Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, saying, 2Thus says the Lord Almighty, saying, This people say, The time is not come to build the house of the Lord. 3And the word of the Lord came by the hand of the prophet Aggaeus, saying, 4Is it time for you to dwell in your ceiled houses, whereas our house is desolate? 5And now thus says the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways, I pray you. 6You⌃ have sown much, but brought in little; you⌃ have eaten, and are not satisfied; you⌃ have drunk, and are not satisfied with drink, you⌃ have clothed yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has gathered [them] into a bag full of holes. 7Thus says the Lord Almighty; Consider your ways. 8Go up to the mountain, and cut timber; build the house, and I will take pleasure in it, and be glorified, says the Lord. 9You⌃ looked for much, and there came little; and it was brought into the house, and I blew it away. Therefore thus says the Lord Almighty, Because my house is desolate, and you⌃ run everyone into his own house; 10therefore shall the sky withhold dew, and the earth shall keep back her produce. 11And I will bring a sword upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, and all that the earth produces, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon all the labors of their hands. 12And Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, listened to the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of the prophet Aggaeus, according as the Lord their God had sent him to them, and the people feared before the Lord. 13And Aggaeus the Lord's messenger spoke among the messengers of the Lord to the people, [saying], I am with you, says the Lord. 14And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and the spirit of the remnant of all the people; and they went in, and wrought in the house of the Lord Almighty their God, 15on the four and twentieth [day] of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king. Chapter 22In the seventh month, on the twenty-first [day] of the month, the Lord spoke by Aggaeus the prophet, saying, 3Speak now to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, saying, 4Who [is there] of you that saw this house in her former glory? and how do you⌃ now look upon it, as it were nothing before your eyes? 5Yet now be strong, O Zorobabel, says the Lord; and strengthen yourself, O Jesus the high priest, the son of Josedec; and let all the people of the land strengthen themselves, says the Lord, and work, for I am with you, says the Lord Almighty; 6and my Spirit remains in the midst of you; be of good courage. 7For thus says the Lord Almighty; Yet once I will shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land]; 8and I will shake all nations, and the choice [portions] of all the nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord Almighty. 9Mine is the silver, and mine the gold, says the Lord Almighty. 10For the glory of this house shall be great, the latter more than the former, says the Lord Almighty: and in this place will I give peace, says the Lord Almighty, even peace of soul for a possession to every one that builds, to raise up this temple. 11On the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Aggaeus the prophet, saying, 12Thus says the Lord Almighty; Inquire now of the priest [concerning] the law, saying, 13If a man should take holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and the skirt of his garment should touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No. 14And Aggaeus said, If a defiled person who is unclean by reason of a dead body, touch any of these, shall it be defiled? And the priests answered and said, It shall be defiled. 15And Aggaeus answered and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so are all the works of their hands: and whoever shall approach them, shall be defiled [because of their early burdens: they shall be pained because of their toils; and you⌃ have hated him that reproved in the gates]. 16And now consider, I pray you, from this day and beforetime, before they laid a stone on a stone in the temple of the Lord, what manner of men you⌃ were. 17When you⌃ cast into the corn-bin twenty measures of barley, and there were [only] ten measures of barley: and you⌃ went to the vat to draw out fifty measures, and there were [but] twenty. 18I struck you with barrenness, and with blasting, and all the works of your hands with hail; yet you⌃ returned not to me, says the Lord. 19Set your hearts now [to think] from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth month, even from the day when the foundation of the temple of the Lord was laid; 20consider in your hearts, whether [this] shall be known on the corn-floor, and whether yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive-trees that bear no fruit [are with you]: from this day will I bless [you]. 21And the word of the Lord came the second time to Aggaeus the prophet, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, saying, 22Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, of the tribe of Juda, saying, I shake the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry [land]; 23and I will overthrow the thrones of kings, and I will destroy the power of the kings of the nations; and I will overthrow chariots and riders; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword striving against his brother.
PsalmSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Psalm 146–147:7–11(MT: 147)
MT Psalm 147 is split into LXX Psalms 146 and 147. Both LXX psalms should be read.
7Begin [the song] with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God: 8who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, [[and green herb for the service of men;]] 9and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon him. 10He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse; neither is he well-pleased with the legs of a man. 11The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear him, and in all that hope in his mercy.
ProverbSeptuagint (LXX2012)
Proverbs 30:20
20Such is the way of an adulterous woman, who having washed herself from what she has done, says she has done nothing amiss.
New TestamentKing James Version
Revelation 15:1–8
1And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 2And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. 4Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. 5And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 6And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. 7And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. 8And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
