1:14 Then came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] by[03027] Haggai[02292] the prophet[05030], saying[0559][8800],
1:15 Is it time[06256] for you, O ye, to dwell[03427][8800] in your cieled[05603][8803] houses[01004], and this house[01004] lie waste[02720]?
1:16 Now therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Consider[07760][8798][03824] your ways[01870]. Consider...: Heb. Set your heart on your ways

1:20 Ye looked[06437][8800] for much[07235][8687], and, lo, it came to little[04592]; and when ye brought[0935][8689] it home[01004], I did blow[05301][8804] upon it. Why? saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635].

2:1 And I called[07121][8799] for a drought[02721] upon the land[0776], and upon the mountains[02022], and upon the corn[01715], and upon the new wine[08492], and upon the oil[03323], and upon that which the ground[0127] bringeth forth[03318][8686], and upon men[0120], and upon cattle[0929], and upon all the labour[03018] of the hands[03709].
2:2 Then Zerubbabel[02216] the son[01121] of Shealtiel[07597], and Joshua[03091] the son[01121] of Josedech[03087], the high[01419] priest[03548], with all the remnant[07611] of the people[05971], obeyed[08085][8799] the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] their God[0430], and the words[01697] of Haggai[02292] the prophet[05030], as the LORD[03068] their God[0430] had sent[07971][8804] him, and the people[05971] did fear[03372][8799] before[06440] the LORD[03068].
2:3 Then spake[0559][8799] Haggai[02292] the LORD'S[03068] messenger[04397] in the LORD'S[03068] message[04400] unto the people[05971], saying[0559][8800], I am with you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
2:4 And the LORD[03068] stirred up[05782][8686] the spirit[07307] of Zerubbabel[02216] the son[01121] of Shealtiel[07597], governor[06346] of Judah[03063], and the spirit[07307] of Joshua[03091] the son[01121] of Josedech[03087], the high[01419] priest[03548], and the spirit[07307] of all the remnant[07611] of the people[05971]; and they came[0935][8799] and did[06213][8799] work[04399] in the house[01004] of the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], their God[0430],
2:5 In the four[0702] and twentieth[06242] day[03117] of the sixth[08345] month[02320], in the second[08147] year[08141] of Darius[01867] the king[04428].
2:6 In the seventh[07637] month , in the one[0259] and twentieth[06242] day of the month[02320], came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] by[03027] the prophet[05030] Haggai[02292], saying[0559][8800], by: Heb. by the hand of

2:8 Who is left[07604][8737] among you that saw[07200][8804] this house[01004] in her first[07223] glory[03519]? and how do ye see[07200][8802] it now? is it not in your eyes[05869] in comparison[03644] of it as nothing?
2:9 Yet now be strong[02388][8798], O Zerubbabel[02216], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; and be strong[02388][8798], O Joshua[03091], son[01121] of Josedech[03087], the high[01419] priest[03548]; and be strong[02388][8798], all ye people[05971] of the land[0776], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and work[06213][8798]: for I am with you, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]:
2:10 According to the word[01697] that I covenanted[03772][8804] with you when ye came[03318][8800] out of Egypt[04714], so my spirit[07307] remaineth[05975][8802] among[08432] you: fear[03372][8799] ye not.
2:11 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Yet once[0259], it is a little while[04592], and I will shake[07493][8688] the heavens[08064], and the earth[0776], and the sea[03220], and the dry[02724] land ;
2:12 And I will shake[07493][8689] all nations[01471], and the desire[02532] of all nations[01471] shall come[0935][8804]: and I will fill[04390][8765] this house[01004] with glory[03519], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635].
2:13 The silver[03701] is mine, and the gold[02091] is mine, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635].
3:1 The glory[03519] of this latter[0314] house[01004] shall be greater than[01419] of the former[07223], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]: and in this place[04725] will I give[05414][8799] peace[07965], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635].
3:2 In the four[0702] and twentieth[06242] day of the ninth[08671] month , in the second[08147] year[08141] of Darius[01867], came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] by[03027] Haggai[02292] the prophet[05030], saying[0559][8800],
3:3 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Ask[07592][8798] now the priests[03548] concerning the law[08451], saying[0559][8800],
3:4 If one[0376] bear[05375][8799] holy[06944] flesh[01320] in the skirt[03671] of his garment[0899], and with his skirt[03671] do touch[05060][8804] bread[03899], or pottage[05138], or wine[03196], or oil[08081], or any meat[03978], shall it be holy[06942][8799]? And the priests[03548] answered[06030][8799] and said[0559][8799], No.
3:5 Then said[0559][8799] Haggai[02292], If one that is unclean[02931] by a dead body[05315] touch[05060][8799] any of these, shall it be unclean[02930][8799]? And the priests[03548] answered[06030][8799] and said[0559][8799], It shall be unclean[02930][8799].
3:6 Then answered[06030][8799] Haggai[02292], and said[0559][8799], So is this people[05971], and so is this nation[01471] before[06440] me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]; and so is every work[04639] of their hands[03027]; and that which they offer[07126][8686] there is unclean[02931].
3:7 And now, I pray you, consider[07760][8798][03824] from this day[03117] and upward[04605], from before[02962] a stone[068] was laid[07760][8800] upon a stone[068] in the temple[01964] of the LORD[03068]:
3:8 Since those days were, when one came[0935][8804] to an heap[06194] of twenty[06242] measures , there were but ten[06235]: when one came[0935][8804] to the pressfat[03342] for to draw out[02834][8800] fifty[02572] vessels out of the press[06333], there were but twenty[06242].
3:9 I smote[05221][8689] you with blasting[07711] and with mildew[03420] and with hail[01259] in all the labours[04639] of your hands[03027]; yet ye turned not to me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
3:10 Consider[07760][8798][03824] now from this day[03117] and upward[04605], from the four[0702] and twentieth[06242] day[03117] of the ninth[08671] month, even from the day[03117] that the foundation[03245][8795] of the LORD'S[03068] temple[01964] was laid, consider[07760][8798][03824] it .
4:1 Is the seed[02233] yet in the barn[04035]? yea, as yet the vine[01612], and the fig tree[08384], and the pomegranate[07416], and the olive[02132] tree[06086], hath not brought forth[05375][8804]: from this day[03117] will I bless[01288][8762] you .
4:2 And again[08145] the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto Haggai[02292] in the four[0702] and twentieth[06242] day of the month[02320], saying[0559][8800],
4:3 Speak[0559][8798] to Zerubbabel[02216], governor[06346] of Judah[03063], saying[0559][8800], I will shake[07493][8688] the heavens[08064] and the earth[0776];
4:4 And I will overthrow[02015][8804] the throne[03678] of kingdoms[04467], and I will destroy[08045][8689] the strength[02392] of the kingdoms[04467] of the heathen[01471]; and I will overthrow[02015][8804] the chariots[04818], and those that ride[07392][8802] in them; and the horses[05483] and their riders[07392][8802] shall come down[03381][8804], every one[0376] by the sword[02719] of his brother[0251].
4:5 In that day[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], will I take[03947][8799] thee, O Zerubbabel[02216], my servant[05650], the son[01121] of Shealtiel[07597], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], and will make[07760][8804] thee as a signet[02368]: for I have chosen[0977][8804] thee, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635].
4:6 In the eighth[08066] month[02320], in the second[08147] year[08141] of Darius[01867], came the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] unto Zechariah[02148], the son[01121] of Berechiah[01296], the son[01121] of Iddo[05714] the prophet[05030], saying[0559][8800],

4:8 Therefore say[0559][8804] thou unto them, Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Turn[07725][8798] ye unto me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], and I will turn[07725][8799] unto you, saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635].
4:9 Be ye not as your fathers[01], unto whom the former[07223] prophets[05030] have cried[07121][8804], saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; Turn[07725][8798] ye now from your evil[07451] ways[01870], and from your evil[07451] doings[04611]: but they did not hear[08085][8804], nor hearken[07181][8689] unto me, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
4:10 Your fathers[01], where are they? and the prophets[05030], do they live[02421][8799] for ever[05769]?
4:11 But my words[01697] and my statutes[02706], which I commanded[06680][8765] my servants[05650] the prophets[05030], did they not take hold[05381][8689] of your fathers[01]? and they returned[07725][8799] and said[0559][8799], Like as the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] thought[02161][8804] to do[06213][8800] unto us, according to our ways[01870], and according to our doings[04611], so hath he dealt[06213][8804] with us. take...: or, overtake

4:13 I saw[07200][8804] by night[03915], and behold a man[0376] riding[07392][8802] upon a red[0122] horse[05483], and he stood[05975][8802] among the myrtle trees[01918] that were  in the bottom[04699]; and behind[0310] him were there red[0122] horses[05483], speckled[08320], and white[03836]. speckled: or, bay
4:14 Then said[0559][8799] I, O my lord[0113], what are these? And the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me said[0559][8799] unto me, I will shew[07200][8686] thee what these be .
5:1 And the man[0376] that stood[05975][8802] among the myrtle trees[01918] answered[06030][8799] and said[0559][8799], These are they whom the LORD[03068] hath sent[07971][8804] to walk[01980][8692] to and fro through the earth[0776].
5:2 And they answered[06030][8799] the angel[04397] of the LORD[03068] that stood[05975][8802] among the myrtle trees[01918], and said[0559][8799], We have walked to and fro[01980][8694] through the earth[0776], and, behold, all the earth[0776] sitteth still[03427][8802], and is at rest[08252][8802].
5:3 Then the angel[04397] of the LORD[03068] answered[06030][8799] and said[0559][8799], O LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], how long wilt thou not have mercy[07355][8762] on Jerusalem[03389] and on the cities[05892] of Judah[03063], against which thou hast had indignation[02194][8804] these threescore and ten[07657] years[08141]?
5:4 And the LORD[03068] answered[06030][8799] the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me with good[02896] words[01697] and comfortable[05150] words[01697].
5:5 So the angel[04397] that communed[01696][8802] with me said[0559][8799] unto me, Cry[07121][8798] thou, saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; I am jealous[07065][8765] for Jerusalem[03389] and for Zion[06726] with a great[01419] jealousy[07068].
5:6 And I am very[01419] sore[07110] displeased[07107][8804] with the heathen[01471] that are at ease[07600]: for I was but a little[04592] displeased[07107][8802], and they helped[05826][8804] forward the affliction[07451].
5:7 Therefore thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068]; I am returned[07725][8804] to Jerusalem[03389] with mercies[07356]: my house[01004] shall be built[01129][8735] in it, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], and a line[06957][8675][06961] shall be stretched forth[05186][8735] upon Jerusalem[03389].
5:8 Cry[07121][8798] yet, saying[0559][8800], Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; My cities[05892] through prosperity[02896] shall yet be spread abroad[06327][8799]; and the LORD[03068] shall yet comfort[05162][8765] Zion[06726], and shall yet choose[0977][8804] Jerusalem[03389]. prosperity: Heb. good
5:9 Then lifted I up[05375][8799] mine eyes[05869], and saw[07200][8799], and behold four[0702] horns[07161].
5:10 And I said[0559][8799] unto the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me, What be these? And he answered[0559][8799] me, These are the horns[07161] which have scattered[02219][8765] Judah[03063], Israel[03478], and Jerusalem[03389].
5:11 And the LORD[03068] shewed[07200][8686] me four[0702] carpenters[02796].
6:1 Then said[0559][8799] I, What come[0935][8802] these to do[06213][8800]? And he spake[0559][8799], saying[0559][8800], These are the horns[07161] which have scattered[02219][8765] Judah[03063], so that[06310] no man[0376] did lift up[05375][8804] his head[07218]: but these are come[0935][8799] to fray[02729][8687] them, to cast out[03034][8763] the horns[07161] of the Gentiles[01471], which lifted up[05375][8802] their horn[07161] over the land[0776] of Judah[03063] to scatter[02219][8763] it.
6:2 I lifted up[05375][8799] mine eyes[05869] again, and looked[07200][8799], and behold a man[0376] with a measuring[04060] line[02256] in his hand[03027].
6:3 Then said[0559][8799] I, Whither goest[01980][8802] thou? And he said[0559][8799] unto me, To measure[04058][8800] Jerusalem[03389], to see[07200][8800] what[04100] is the breadth[07341] thereof, and what is  the length[0753] thereof.
6:4 And, behold, the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me went forth[03318][8802], and another[0312] angel[04397] went out[03318][8802] to meet[07125][8800] him,
6:5 And said[0559][8799] unto him, Run[07323][8798], speak[01696][8761] to this[01975] young man[05288], saying[0559][8800], Jerusalem[03389] shall be inhabited[03427][8799] as  towns without walls[06519] for the multitude[07230] of men[0120] and cattle[0929] therein[08432]:
6:6 For I, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068], will be unto her a wall[02346] of fire[0784] round about[05439], and will be the glory[03519] in the midst[08432] of her.
6:7 Ho[01945], ho[01945], come forth , and flee[05127][8798] from the land[0776] of the north[06828], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068]: for I have spread you abroad[06566][8765] as the four[0702] winds[07307] of the heaven[08064], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
6:8 Deliver[04422][8734] thyself, O[01945] Zion[06726], that dwellest[03427][8802] with the daughter[01323] of Babylon[0894].
6:9 For thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; After[0310] the glory[03519] hath he sent[07971][8804] me unto the nations[01471] which spoiled[07997][8802] you: for he that toucheth[05060][8802] you toucheth[05060][8802] the apple[0892] of his eye[05869].
6:10 For, behold, I will shake[05130][8688] mine hand[03027] upon them, and they shall be a spoil[07998] to their servants[05647][8802]: and ye shall know[03045][8804] that the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] hath sent[07971][8804] me.
6:11 Sing[07442][8798] and rejoice[08055][8798], O daughter[01323] of Zion[06726]: for, lo, I come[0935][8802], and I will dwell[07931][8804] in the midst[08432] of thee, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068].
6:12 And many[07227] nations[01471] shall be joined[03867][8738] to the LORD[03068] in that day[03117], and shall be my people[05971]: and I will dwell[07931][8804] in the midst[08432] of thee, and thou shalt know[03045][8804] that the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] hath sent[07971][8804] me unto thee.
6:13 And the LORD[03068] shall inherit[05157][8804] Judah[03063] his portion[02506] in the holy[06944] land[0127], and shall choose[0977][8804] Jerusalem[03389] again.
6:14 Be silent[02013][8761], O all flesh[01320], before[06440] the LORD[03068]: for he is raised up[05782][8738] out of his holy[06944] habitation[04583]. his...: Heb. the habitation of his holiness
6:15 And he shewed[07200][8686] me Joshua[03091] the high[01419] priest[03548] standing[05975][8802] before[06440] the angel[04397] of the LORD[03068], and Satan[07854] standing[05975][8802] at his right hand[03225] to resist[07853][8800] him. Satan: that is, an adversary to...: Heb. to be his adversary
7:1 And the LORD[03068] said[0559][8799] unto Satan[07854], The LORD[03068] rebuke[01605][8799] thee, O Satan[07854]; even the LORD[03068] that hath chosen[0977][8802] Jerusalem[03389] rebuke[01605][8799] thee: is not this a brand[0181] plucked[05337][8716] out of the fire[0784]?
7:2 Now Joshua[03091] was clothed[03847][8803] with filthy[06674] garments[0899], and stood[05975][8802] before[06440] the angel[04397].
7:3 And he answered[06030][8799] and spake[0559][8799] unto those that stood[05975][8802] before[06440] him, saying[0559][8800], Take away[05493][8685] the filthy[06674] garments[0899] from him. And unto him he said[0559][8799], Behold[07200][8798], I have caused thine iniquity[05771] to pass[05674][8689] from thee, and I will clothe[03847][8687] thee with change of raiment[04254].
7:4 And I said[0559][8799], Let them set[07760][8799] a fair[02889] mitre[06797] upon his head[07218]. So they set[07760][8799] a fair[02889] mitre[06797] upon his head[07218], and clothed[03847][8686] him with garments[0899]. And the angel[04397] of the LORD[03068] stood by[05975][8802].
7:5 And the angel[04397] of the LORD[03068] protested[05749][8686] unto Joshua[03091], saying[0559][8800],
7:6 Thus saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]; If thou wilt walk[03212][8799] in my ways[01870], and if thou wilt keep[08104][8799] my charge[04931], then thou shalt also judge[01777][8799] my house[01004], and shalt also keep[08104][8799] my courts[02691], and I will give[05414][8804] thee places to walk[04108][8688] among these that stand by[05975][8802]. charge: or, ordinance places...: Heb. walks
7:7 Hear[08085][8798] now, O Joshua[03091] the high[01419] priest[03548], thou, and thy fellows[07453] that sit[03427][8802] before[06440] thee: for they are men[0582] wondered at[04159]: for, behold, I will bring forth[0935][8688] my servant[05650] the BRANCH[06780]. wondered...: Heb. of wonder, or, sign
7:8 For behold the stone[068] that I have laid[05414][8804] before[06440] Joshua[03091]; upon one[0259] stone[068] shall be seven[07651] eyes[05869]: behold, I will engrave[06605][8764] the graving[06603] thereof, saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], and I will remove[04185][8804] the iniquity[05771] of that land[0776] in one[0259] day[03117].
7:9 In that day[03117], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], shall ye call[07121][8799] every man[0376] his neighbour[07453] under the vine[01612] and under the fig tree[08384].
7:10 And the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me came again[07725][8799], and waked[05782][8686] me, as a man[0376] that is wakened[05782][8735] out of his sleep[08142],
7:11 And said[0559][8799] unto me, What seest[07200][8802] thou? And I said[0559][8799], I have looked[07200][8804], and behold a candlestick[04501] all of gold[02091], with a bowl[01531] upon the top[07218] of it, and his seven[07651] lamps[05216] thereon, and seven[07651] pipes[04166] to the seven[07651] lamps[05216], which are upon the top[07218] thereof: a bowl: Heb. her bowl seven pipes...: or, seven several pipes to the lamps
7:12 And two[08147] olive trees[02132] by it, one[0259] upon the right[03225] side of the bowl[01543], and the other[0259] upon the left[08040] side thereof.
7:13 So I answered[06030][8799] and spake[0559][8799] to the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me, saying[0559][8800], What are these, my lord[0113]?
7:14 Then the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me answered[06030][8799] and said[0559][8799] unto me, Knowest[03045][8804] thou not what these be? And I said[0559][8799], No, my lord[0113].
8:1 Then he answered[06030][8799] and spake[0559][8799] unto me, saying[0559][8800], This is the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] unto Zerubbabel[02216], saying[0559][8800], Not by might[02428], nor by power[03581], but by my spirit[07307], saith[0559][8804] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635]. might: or, army
8:2 Who art thou, O great[01419] mountain[02022]? before[06440] Zerubbabel[02216] thou shalt become a plain[04334]: and he shall bring forth[03318][8689] the headstone[068][07222] thereof with shoutings[08663], crying , Grace[02580], grace[02580] unto it.
8:3 Moreover the word[01697] of the LORD[03068] came unto me, saying[0559][8800],
8:4 The hands[03027] of Zerubbabel[02216] have laid the foundation[03245][8765] of this house[01004]; his hands[03027] shall also finish[01214][8762] it; and thou shalt know[03045][8804] that the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] hath sent[07971][8804] me unto you.
8:5 For who hath despised[0936][8804] the day[03117] of small things[06996]? for they shall rejoice[08055][8804], and shall see[07200][8804] the plummet[068][0913] in the hand[03027] of Zerubbabel[02216] with those seven[07651]; they are the eyes[05869] of the LORD[03068], which run to and fro[07751][8789] through the whole earth[0776]. for they...: or, since the seven eyes of the LORD shall rejoice plummet: Heb. stone of tin
8:6 Then answered[06030][8799] I, and said[0559][8799] unto him, What are these two[08147] olive trees[02132] upon the right[03225] side of the candlestick[04501] and upon the left[08040] side thereof?
8:7 And I answered[06030][8799] again[08145], and said[0559][8799] unto him, What be these two[08147] olive[02132] branches[07641] which through[03027] the two[08147] golden[02091] pipes[06804] empty[07324][8688] the golden[02091] oil out of themselves? through: Heb. by the hand of empty...: or, empty out of themselves oil into the gold the golden oil: Heb. the gold
8:8 And he answered[0559][8799] me and said[0559][8800], Knowest[03045][8804] thou not what these be ? And I said[0559][8799], No, my lord[0113].
8:9 Then said[0559][8799] he, These are the two[08147] anointed[03323] ones[01121], that stand[05975][8802] by the Lord[0113] of the whole earth[0776]. anointed...: Heb. sons of oil
8:10 Then I turned[07725][8799], and lifted up[05375][8799] mine eyes[05869], and looked[07200][8799], and behold a flying[05774][8802] roll[04039].
8:11 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, What seest[07200][8802] thou? And I answered[0559][8799], I see[07200][8802] a flying[05774][8802] roll[04039]; the length[0753] thereof is  twenty[06242] cubits[0520], and the breadth[07341] thereof ten[06235] cubits[0520].
8:12 Then said[0559][8799] he unto me, This is the curse[0423] that goeth forth[03318][8802] over the face[06440] of the whole earth[0776]: for every one that stealeth[01589][8802] shall be cut off[05352][8738] as  on this side according[03644] to it; and every one that sweareth[07650][8737] shall be cut off[05352][8738] as on that side according[03644] to it. every one that stealeth...: or, every one of this people that stealeth holdeth himself guiltless, as it doth
8:13 I will bring it forth[03318][8689], saith[05002][8803] the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635], and it shall enter[0935][8804] into the house[01004] of the thief[01590], and into the house[01004] of him that sweareth[07650][8737] falsely[08267] by my name[08034]: and it shall remain[03885][8804] in the midst[08432] of his house[01004], and shall consume[03615][8765] it with the timber[06086] thereof and the stones[068] thereof.
8:14 Then the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me went forth[03318][8799], and said[0559][8799] unto me, Lift up[05375][8798] now thine eyes[05869], and see[07200][8798] what is this that goeth forth[03318][8802].
8:15 And I said[0559][8799], What is it? And he said[0559][8799], This is an ephah[0374] that goeth forth[03318][8802]. He said[0559][8799] moreover, This is their resemblance[05869] through all the earth[0776].
8:16 And, behold, there was lifted up[05375][8738] a talent[03603] of lead[05777]: and this is a[0259] woman[0802] that sitteth[03427][8802] in the midst[08432] of the ephah[0374]. talent: or, weighty piece
8:17 And he said[0559][8799], This is wickedness[07564]. And he cast[07993][8686] it into the midst[08432] of the ephah[0374]; and he cast[07993][8686] the weight[068] of lead[05777] upon the mouth[06310] thereof.
8:18 Then lifted I up[05375][8799] mine eyes[05869], and looked[07200][8799], and, behold, there came out[03318][8802] two[08147] women[0802], and the wind[07307] was in their wings[03671]; for they had[02007] wings[03671] like the wings[03671] of a stork[02624]: and they lifted up[05375][8799] the ephah[0374] between the earth[0776] and the heaven[08064].
8:19 Then said[0559][8799] I to the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me, Whither do these bear[03212][8688] the ephah[0374]?
8:20 And he said[0559][8799] unto me, To build[01129][8800] it an house[01004] in the land[0776] of Shinar[08152]: and it shall be established[03559][8717], and set[03240][8717] there upon her own base[04369].
8:21 And I turned[07725][8799], and lifted up[05375][8799] mine eyes[05869], and looked[07200][8799], and, behold, there came[03318][00] four[0702] chariots[04818] out[03318][8802] from between two[08147] mountains[02022]; and the mountains[02022] were mountains[02022] of brass[05178].
8:22 In the first[07223] chariot[04818] were red[0122] horses[05483]; and in the second[08145] chariot[04818] black[07838] horses[05483];
8:23 And in the third[07992] chariot[04818] white[03836] horses[05483]; and in the fourth[07243] chariot[04818] grisled[01261] and bay[0554] horses[05483]. bay: or, strong
9:1 Then I answered[06030][8799] and said[0559][8799] unto the angel[04397] that talked[01696][8802] with me, What are these, my lord[0113]?
9:2 And the angel[04397] answered[06030][8799] and said[0559][8799] unto me, These are the four[0702] spirits[07307] of the heavens[08064], which go forth[03318][8802] from standing[03320][8692] before the Lord[0113] of all the earth[0776]. spirits: or, winds

So they walked to and fro[01980][8691] through the earth[0776].
9:5 Then cried[02199][8686] he upon[0853] me, and spake[01696][8762] unto me, saying[0559][8800], Behold[07200][8798], these that go[03318][8802] toward the north[06828] country[0776] have quieted[05117][8689] my spirit[07307] in the north[06828] country[0776].

9:11 And the crowns[05850] shall be to Helem[02494], and to Tobijah[02900], and to Jedaiah[03048], and to Hen[02581] the son[01121] of Zephaniah[06846], for a memorial[02146] in the temple[01964] of the LORD[03068].
9:12 And they that are far off[07350] shall come[0935][8799] and build[01129][8804] in the temple[01964] of the LORD[03068], and ye shall know[03045][8804] that the LORD[03068] of hosts[06635] hath sent[07971][8804] me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently[08085][8800] obey[08085][8799] the voice[06963] of the LORD[03068] your God[0430].

10:6 But they refused[03985][8762] to hearken[07181][8687], and pulled away[05414][8799][05637][8802] the shoulder[03802], and stopped[03513][8689] their ears[0241], that they should not hear[08085][8800]. pulled...: Heb. they gave a backsliding shoulder stopped: Heb. made heavy

10:9 But I scattered them with a whirlwind[05590][8762] among all the nations[01471] whom they knew[03045][8804] not. Thus the land[0776] was desolate[08074][8738] after[0310] them, that no man passed through[05674][8802] nor returned[07725][8802]: for they laid[07760][8799] the pleasant[02532] land[0776] desolate[08047]. pleasant...: Heb. land of desire
