| Flocks and herds 1 will lie down in the middle of it, as well as every kind of wild animal. 2 Owls 3 will sleep in the tops of its support pillars; they will hoot through the windows. 4 Rubble will cover the thresholds; 5 even the cedar work 6 will be exposed to the elements. 7 |
| (1.00) | Zep 2:15 |
| This is how the once-proud city will end up 1 – the city that was so secure. 2 She thought to herself, 3 “I am unique! No one can compare to me!” 4 What a heap of ruins she has become, a place where wild animals live! Everyone who passes by her taunts her 5 and shakes his fist. 6 |
| (1.00) | Zep 3:4 |

| (1.00) | Zep 3:7 |
| I thought, 1 ‘Certainly you will respect 2 me! Now you will accept correction!’ If she had done so, her home 3 would not be destroyed 4 by all the punishments I have threatened. 5 But they eagerly sinned in everything they did. 6 |
| (1.00) | Zep 3:8 |
| Therefore you must wait patiently 1 for me,” says the Lord, “for the day when I attack and take plunder. 2 I have decided 3 to gather nations together and assemble kingdoms, so I can pour out my fury on them – all my raging anger. For 4 the whole earth will be consumed by my fiery anger. |

| The Israelites who remain 1 will not act deceitfully. They will not lie, and a deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouth. Indeed, they will graze peacefully like sheep 2 and lie down; no one will terrify them.” |

| At that time I will lead you – at the time I gather you together. 1 Be sure of this! 2 I will make all the nations of the earth respect and admire you 3 when you see me restore you,” 4 says the Lord. |
| (1.00) | Hag 1:1 |
| On the first day of the sixth month 1 of King Darius’ 2 second year, the Lord spoke this message through the prophet Haggai 3 to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak: 4 |
| (1.00) | Hag 1:2 |
| The Lord who rules over all 1 says this: “These people have said, ‘The time for rebuilding the Lord’s temple has not yet come.’” 2 |
| (1.00) | Hag 1:3 |
| So the Lord spoke through the prophet Haggai as follows: 1 |
| (1.00) | Hag 1:6 |
| You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but are never filled. You drink, but are still thirsty. You put on clothes, but are not warm. Those who earn wages end up with holes in their money bags.’” 1 |
| (1.00) | Hag 1:11 |
| Moreover, I have called for a drought that will affect the fields, the hill country, the grain, new wine, fresh olive oil, and everything that grows from the ground; it also will harm people, animals, and everything they produce.’” 1 |
| (1.00) | Hag 1:12 |
| Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, 1 along with the whole remnant of the people, 2 obeyed 3 the Lord their God. They responded favorably to the message of the prophet Haggai, who spoke just as the Lord their God had instructed him, 4 and the people began to respect the Lord. 5 |
| (1.00) | Hag 1:13 |
| Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, spoke the Lord’s word to the people: 1 “I am with you!” says the Lord. |
