Contextual Overview

¹ In the second year of Daryavesh the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the Word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbavel, the son of She'alti'el, governor of Yehudah, and to Yehoshua, the son of Yehotzadak, the Kohen Gadol, saying, ² "This is what the LORD of Hosts says: These people say, 'The time hasn't yet come, the time for the LORD's house to be built.'" ³ Then the Word of the LORD came by Haggai, the prophet, saying, ⁴ "Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste? ⁵ Now therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: Consider your ways. ⁶ You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don't have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it." ⁷ This is what the LORD of Hosts says: "Consider your ways. ⁸ Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified," says the LORD. ⁹ "You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says the LORD of Hosts, "Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house. ¹⁰ Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the eretz withholds its fruit.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet,....

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And the word of the Lord came - ^o “Before, he prophesied nothing, but only recited the saying of the people; now he refutes it in his prophecy, and repeats, again and again, that he says this not of himself, but from the mind and mouth of God.” It is characteristic of Haggai to inculcate thus frequently, that his words are not his own, but the words of God. Yet “the prophets, both in their threats and prophecies, repeat again and again, “Thus saith the Lord,” teaching us, how we should prize the word of God, hang upon it, have it ever in our mouth, reverence, ruminate on, utter, praise it, make it our continual delight.”
