This is what the Lord Almighty says:“ These people say,‘ The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.’”

万军之耶和华如此说：“这百姓说，建造耶和华殿的时候尚未来到。”

“万军之耶和华如此说，这百姓说，建造耶和华殿的时候还没有到。”

“万军之耶和华如此说，这百姓说，建造耶和华殿的时候还没有到。”

“万军之耶和华说，‘这些百姓说，重建耶和华殿的时候还没到。’”

“万军之耶和华这样说：‘这民说，重建耶和华殿宇的时候还没有到。’”

萬軍之耶和華如此說：「這百姓說，建造耶和華殿的時候尚未來到。」

「萬軍之耶和華如此說，這百姓說，建造耶和華殿的時候還沒有到。」

「萬軍之耶和華如此說，這百姓說，建造耶和華殿的時候還沒有到。」

「萬軍之耶和華說，『這些百姓說，重建耶和華殿的時候還沒到。』」

“萬軍之耶和華這樣說：‘這民說，重建耶和華殿宇的時候還沒有到。’”

『萬軍之永恆主這麼說：這人民說：重建永恆主之殿的時候還沒有到。』

萬軍之耶和華曰、斯民云、建耶和華之室、其時未至、

萬有之主耶和華云、斯民自謂建耶和華殿、其期未屆、

萬有之主如是云、斯民自謂建主之殿、其期未至、

Here is what the Lord who rules over all says.“ The people of Judah say,‘ It’s not yet time to rebuild the Lord’ s temple.’ ”

“ Thus says the Lord of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.”

“ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: The people are saying,‘ The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.’”

“ The LORD of Armies says this: These people say: The time has not come for the house of the LORD to be rebuilt.”

“ This is what the Lord of armies says:‘ This people says,“ The time has not come, the time for the house of the Lord to be rebuilt.” ’ ”

“ Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying:‘ This people says,“ The time has not come, the time that the Lord’s house should be built.”’”

Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time for us to come, the time for Jehovah’s house to be built.

“ The Lord of Hosts says this: These people say: The time has not come for the house of the Lord to be rebuilt.”

Meanwhile, the people in Judah said,“ The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.”

But the men who had gone up with him said,“ We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”

As soon as the copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes was read to Rehum and Shimshai the secretary and their associates, they went immediately to the Jews in Jerusalem and compelled them by force to stop.Thus the work on the house of God in Jerusalem came to a standstill until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.Now Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the prophet, a descendant of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jozadak set to work to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.

The sluggard says,“ There’s a lion outside! I’ll be killed in the public square!”

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.

I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My beloved is knocking:“ Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”I have taken off my robe— must I put it on again? I have washed my feet— must I soil them again?

A sluggard says,“ There’s a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!”As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed.A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly.

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
