‘ From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid. Give careful thought:

It is the 24th day of the ninth month. From this day on, here is what you should think carefully about. Think about the day when the foundation of my temple was laid.

Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider:

“ Think about this eighteenth day of December, the day when the foundation of the Lord’s Temple was laid. Think carefully.

From this day on, think carefully; from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid; think carefully.

‘ Do consider from this day onward, from the twenty fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the temple of the Lord was founded, consider:

‘ Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid— consider it:

Consider, I pray you, from this day and backward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Jehovah’s temple was laid, consider it.

「萬軍之耶和華如此說：你們的手要堅強；這些日子，你們已聽見先知的口，在萬軍之耶和華殿的根基立定、聖殿建造的日子所說的這些話。

「現在，你們心裏要想一想，從今日起，耶和華的殿還沒有一塊石頭放在石頭上的情況。

因為他們要平安撒種，葡萄樹要結果子，土地必有出產，天也必降甘露。我要使這餘民享受這一切。

那時，哈該先知和易多的孫子撒迦利亞，兩個先知奉以色列上帝的名向猶大和耶路撒冷的猶太人說預言。於是撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約薩達的兒子耶書亞起來，開始建造耶路撒冷上帝的殿，有上帝的先知在那裏幫助他們。

惟願他們有智慧，能明白這事，他們就會想到自己的結局。

大流士王第二年九月二十四日，耶和華的話臨到哈該先知，說：

他醒悟過來，就說：『我父親有多少雇工，糧食有餘，我倒在這裏餓死嗎？我要起來，到我父親那裏去，對他說：父親！我得罪了天，又得罪了你，從今以後，我不配稱為你的兒子，把我當作一個雇工吧。』於是他起來，往他父親那裏去。相離還遠，他父親看見，就動了慈心，跑去擁抱着他，連連親他。

耶和華激發撒拉鐵的兒子猶大省長所羅巴伯、約撒答的兒子約書亞大祭司，和所有倖存百姓的心，他們就來為萬軍之耶和華－他們上帝的殿做工。這是在大流士王第二年六月二十四日。
