Obedience to God's Commandment - Haggai 1

Haggai 1:1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth  month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the  LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of  Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of  Josedech, the high priest, saying, 

Haggai 1:2 Thus speaketh the  LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not  come, the time that the LORD’S house should be built.  

Haggai 1:3 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the  prophet, saying, 

Haggai 1:4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in  your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? 

Haggai 1:5 Now  therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your  ways. 

Haggai 1:6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat,  but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with  drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that  earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with  holes.  

Haggai 1:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.  

Haggai 1:8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the  house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,  saith the LORD. 

Haggai 1:9 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it  came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow  upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine  house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own  house. 

Haggai 1:10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from  dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. 

Haggai 1:11 And I  called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains,  and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil,  and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon  men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.  

Haggai 1:12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua  the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of  the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and  the words of  Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God  had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.  

Haggai 1:13 Then spake Haggai the LORD’S messenger in the  LORD’S message unto the people, saying, I am with you,  saith the LORD. 

Haggai 1:14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit  of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and  the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and  the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came  and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,  

Haggai 1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in  the second year of Darius the king.  KJV
