[verse 1] IN the secounde ȝeer of Darius, kyng of Persis, in the sixte moneth, in oo day of the moneth, the word of the Lord is maad in the hond of Aggey, prophete, to Zorobabel, sone of Salatiel, duyke of Juda, and to Jhesu, `the greet prest, sone of Jo|sedech [verse 2] [the sone of Josedech, the greet preest AGHK pr. m.] , sayinge, These thingus saith the Lord of oostis, sayinge, This peple saith, Ȝit cummeth not the tyme of the hous of the Lord to be beeldid. [verse 3] And the word of the Lord is maad in the hond of Ag|gey, [verse 4] prophete, sayinge, Wher it is tyme to ȝou, that ȝe dwelle in housis [the hous K.] couplid with tymbre, and this hous desert? [verse 5] And now these thingus saith the Lord God of oostis, Putte ȝe [Om. A.] ȝour hertis vpon ȝour wayes. [verse 6] Ȝe han sown myche, and brouȝten in litil; ȝe han eten, and ȝe ben not ful|fillid; ȝe han drunke, and ȝe ben not ful of drinke; ȝe hilliden ȝou, and ȝe ben not maad hote; and he that gadrid hijris, sente hem in to a sac, or bagge, hoolid, or broken. [verse 7] These thingus saith the Lord of oostis, Putte ȝe ȝour hertis vpon ȝour wayes. [verse 8] Stye ȝe vp in to the mounteyn, bere ȝe treese, and bielde ȝe an hous; and it shal be acceptable to me, and Y shal be glorifiede, saith the Lord. [verse 9] Ȝe bihelden to more, and loo! it made [is maad G sec. m.] lesse; and ȝe brouȝten in to hous, and

Y blewe it out. For what cause, saith the Lord of oostis? for myn hous is de|sert [desert, or forleft GK pr. m.] , and ȝe hasten eche man in to his hous. [verse 10] For this thing heuens ben for|beden, that thei shulden not ȝeue dew; and the erthe is forbeden, that it shulde not ȝeue his buriownyng. [verse 11] And Y cle|pide dryenesse vpon erthe, and vpon mounteyns, and vpon whete, and vpon wyn, and vpon oyle, and what euer thingus the erthe bringeth forth; and vpon men, and vpon beestis, and vpon al labour of hondis. [verse 12] And Zorobabel, sone of Salatiel, herde, and Jhesus, `the grete prest, sone of Josedech [the sone of Josedech, the greet preest AG.] , and alle relikis of the peple, the voys of her God, and the wordis of Aggey, prophete, as the Lord God of hem sente hym to hem; and al the peple dredde of the face of the Lord. [verse 13] And Aggey saide, a mes|sangere of the Lord, of messangers of the Lord to the peple, sayinge, Y am with ȝou, saith the Lord. [verse 14] And the Lord reyside the spirit of Zorobabel, sone of Salatiel, duyk of Juda, and the spirit of Jhesu, `the grete prest, sone of Josedech [sone of Josedech, the greet preest AGHK pr. m.] , and the spirit of the relikis of alle peple; and thei entriden, and maden werk in the hous of the Lord of hoostis, her God, [verse 1] in the twentithe day and fourthe of the moneth, in the sixte moneth, in the se|counde ȝeer of Darius, kyng.
