Haggai 1:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ I have brought drought on the land—on its hills, grainfields, vineyards, and olive orchards—on every crop the ground produces, on people and animals, on everything you try to grow.”

The People Obey the Lord's Command

¹² Then Zerubbabel and Joshua and all the people who had returned from the exile^[a] in Babylonia, did what the Lord their God told them to do. They were afraid and obeyed the prophet Haggai, the Lord's messenger. ¹³ Then Haggai gave the Lord's message to the people: “I will be with you—that is my promise.”
