Zephaniah · Chapter 3
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); she drew not near to her Elohim.
Her princes within her
are roaring lions; her judges
are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
Her nevi'im
are light
and treacherous persons: her kohanim have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the torah.
The just 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early,
and corrupted all their doings.
Therefore wait ye upon me, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination
is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation,
even
all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), to serve him with one consent.
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants,
even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
The remnant of Yisra'el shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make
them afraid.
Sing, O daughter of Tsiyon; shout, O Yisra'el; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Yerushalayim.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Yisra'el,
even 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
In that day it shall be said to Yerushalayim, Fear thou not:
and to
Tsiyon, Let not thine hands be slack.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim in the midst of thee
is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
I will gather
them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly,
who are of thee,
to whom the reproach of it
was
a burden.
Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
At that time will I bring you
again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).

Haggai · Chapter 1
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) by Haggai the navi unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Yehoshua the son of Josedech, the high kohen, saying,
Thus speaketh 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S house should be built.
Then came the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) by Haggai the navi, saying,
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house
lie waste?
Now therefore thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; Consider your ways.
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.
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; Consider your ways.
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 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Ye looked for much, and, lo,
it came to little; and when ye brought
it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts. Because of mine house that
is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
Therefore the shamayim over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed
from her fruit.
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.
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Yehoshua the son of Josedech, the high kohen, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim, and the words of Haggai the navi, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) their Elohim had sent him, and the people did fear before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Then spake Haggai 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S messenger in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S message unto the people, saying, I
am with you, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Yehoshua the son of Josedech, the high kohen, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, their Elohim,
In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

Haggai · Chapter 2
In the seventh
month, in the one and twentieth
day
of the month, came the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) by the navi Haggai, saying,
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Yehoshua the son of Josedech, the high kohen, and to the residue of the people, saying,
Who
is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now?
is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and be strong, O Yehoshua, son of Josedech, the high kohen; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and work: for
I am with you, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts:
According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Mitsrayim, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
For thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; Yet once, it
is a little while, and I will shake the shamayim, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry
land;
And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts.
The silver
is mine, and the gold
is mine, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts.
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts.
In the four and twentieth
day of the ninth
month,
in the second year of Darius, came the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) by Haggai the navi, saying,
Thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts; Ask now the kohanim
concerning
the torah, saying,
If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the kohanim answered and said, No.
Then said Haggai, If
one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the kohanim answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Then answered Haggai, and said, So
is this people, and so
is this nation before me, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); and so
is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there
is unclean.
And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the heikhal of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH):
Since those
days were, when
one came to an heap of twenty
measures, there were
but ten: when
one
came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty
vessels out of the press, there were
but twenty.
I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye
turned not to me, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth
month, even from the day that the foundation of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)’S heikhal was laid, consider
it.
Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless
you.
And again the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth
day of the month, saying,
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the shamayim and the earth;
And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
In that day, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts.
