Haggai 1

Through Haggai, YHWH rebukes Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the people for prioritizing their paneled houses while the temple lies in ruins, attributing their lack of prosperity to neglected priorities, and calls them to consider their ways[1][2][5]. The people obey, fear YHWH, and begin rebuilding the temple on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month after YHWH stirs their spirits[1][2].
