⁴ Is it time for you to dwell in ceiled houses, and this house lie desolate? ⁵ And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider your ways. ⁶ You have sowed much, and brought in little: you have eaten, but have not had enough: you have drunk, but have not been filled with drink: you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed: and he that hath earned wages, put them into a bag with holes. ⁷ Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways:

⁹ You have looked for more, and behold it became less, and you brought it home, and I blowed it away: why, saith the Lord of hosts? because my house is desolate, and you make haste every man to his own house.

¹² Then Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and all the remnant of the people hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, and to the words of Aggeus the prophet, as the Lord their God sent him to them: and the people feared before the Lord.

¹⁴ And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zorobabel the son of Salathiel governor of Juda, and the spirit of Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people: and they went in, and did the work in the house of the Lord of Hosts their God.

^{1 (2:2)} And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying:

^{1 (2:2)} And in the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Aggeus the prophet, saying: ^{2 (2:3)} Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:

^{2 (2:3)} Speak to Zorobabel the son of Salathiel the governor of Juda, and to Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and to the rest of the people, saying:

^{4 (2:5)} Yet now take courage, O Zorobabel, saith the Lord, and take courage, Jesus the son of Josedec the high priest, and take courage, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord of hosts: and perform (for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts)

^{7 (2:8)} And I will move all nations: AND THE DESIRED OF ALL NATIONS SHALL COME: and I will fill this house with glory: saith the Lord of hosts.

^{9 (2:10)} Great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I will give peace, saith the Lord of hosts. ^{10 (2:11)} In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius the king, the word of the Lord came to Aggeus the prophet, saying:

^{15 (2:16)} And now consider in your hearts, from this day and upward, before there was a stone laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord. ^{16 (2:17)} When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.

^{16 (2:17)} When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty.

^{16 (2:17)} When you went to a heap of twenty bushels, and they became ten: and you went into the press, to press out fifty vessels, and they became twenty. ^{17 (2:18)} I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.

^{17 (2:18)} I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord.

^{17 (2:18)} I struck you with a blasting wind, and all the works of your hand with the mildew and with hail, yet there was none among you that returned to me, saith the Lord. ^{18 (2:19)} Set your hearts from this day, and henceforward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month: from the day that the foundations of the temple of the Lord were laid, and lay it up in your hearts.

^{20 (2:21)} And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying:

^{20 (2:21)} And the word of the Lord came a second time to Aggeus in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying: ^{21 (2:22)} Speak to Zorobabel the governor of Juda, saying: I will move both heaven and earth.

¹ In the eighth month, in the second year of king Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zacharias the son of Barachias, the son of Addo, the prophet, saying:

⁶ And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. ⁷ Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof. ⁸ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ⁹ The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you. ¹⁰ For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice, and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel. These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and fro through the whole earth.

⁴ I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts: and it shall come to the house of the thief, and to the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof, and the stones thereof.

¹⁰ For before those days there was no hire for men, neither was there hire for beasts, neither was there peace to him that came in, nor to him that went out, because of the tribulation: and I let all men go every one against his neighbour.

¹ Open thy gates, O Libanus, and let fire devour thy cedars. ² Howl, thou fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, for the mighty are laid waste: howl, ye oaks of Basan, because the fenced forest is cut down.

² If you will not hear, and if you will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, saith the Lord of hosts: I will send poverty upon you, and will curse your blessings, yea I will curse them, because you have not laid it to heart.

⁷ For the lips of the priests shall keep knowledge, and they shall seek the law at his mouth: because he is the angel of the Lord of hosts.

¹ Behold I send my angel, and he shall prepare the way before my face. And presently the Lord, whom you seek, and the angel of the testament, whom you desire, shall come to his temple. Behold, he cometh, saith the Lord of hosts.

⁸ Shall a man afflict God, for you afflict me. And you have said: Wherein do we afflict thee? in tithes and in firstfruits. ⁹ And you are cursed with want, and you afflict me, even the whole nation of you. ¹⁰ Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and try me in this, saith the Lord: if I open not unto you the flood-gates of heaven, and pour you out a blessing even to abundance. ¹¹ And I will rebuke for your sakes the devourer, and he shall not spoil the fruit of your land: neither shall the vine in the field be barren, saith the Lord of hosts.

¹² And after the transmigration of Babylon, Jechonias begot Salathiel. And Salathiel begot Zorobabel. ¹³ And Zorobabel begot Abiud. And Abiud begot Eliacim. And Eliacim begot Azor.

²³ Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

⁸ Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of penance. ⁹ And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

³³ Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.

²⁰ For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

¹ And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple. ² And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed.

²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

²⁷ Who was of Joanna, who was of Reza, who was of Zorobabel, who was of Salathiel, who was of Neri,

¹⁷ And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father's house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger!

³¹ When he therefore was gone out, Jesus said: Now is the Son of man glorified; and God is glorified in him. ³² If God be glorified in him, God also will glorify him in himself: and immediately will he glorify him.

³¹ Now, the church had peace throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria: and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord: and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.

⁹ And the Lord said to Paul in the night, by a vision: Do not fear, but speak. And hold not thy peace, ¹⁰ Because I am with thee and no man shall set upon thee, to hurt thee. For I have much people in this city.

³¹ What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us?

³⁰ Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you: and many sleep. ³¹ But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. ³² But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world.

⁴ Now there are diversities of graces, but the same Spirit. ⁵ And there are diversities of ministries. but the same Lord. ⁶ And there are diversities of operations, but the same God, who worketh all in all. ⁷ And the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man unto profit. ⁸ To one indeed, by the Spirit, is given the word of wisdom: and to another, the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: ⁹ To another, faith in the same spirit: to another, the grace of healing in one Spirit: ¹⁰ To another the working of miracles: to another, prophecy: to another, the discerning of spirits: to another, diverse kinds of tongues: to another, interpretation of speeches. ¹¹ But all these things, one and the same Spirit worketh, dividing to every one according as he will.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable: always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

²⁰ For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us, for Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God.

¹⁶ And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus.

⁵ Try your own selves if you be in the faith: prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates?

⁴ But let every one prove his own work: and so he shall have glory in himself only and not in another.

¹² Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but much more now in my absence) with fear and trembling work out your salvation. ¹³ For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.

²¹ For all seek the things that are their own not the things that are Jesus Christ's.

¹ As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you is necessary.

⁶ Which is come unto you, as also it is in the whole world and bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth.

⁵ For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also: and in the Holy Ghost and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes. ⁶ And you became followers of us and of the Lord: receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

¹³ Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed. ¹⁴ For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews:

¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished and that all the Gentiles may hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

²² The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

²⁸ Therefore, receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace: whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence.

²¹ Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.

⁴ But I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first charity.

¹⁹ Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore and do penance.
