Haggai

Treated in 16 passages across the library.

Four short messages given in 520 BC to the Jews who had returned from exile but left the temple unfinished while they built their own houses. Haggai tells them to "consider your ways," and stirs the leaders and people to resume the work. He promises that the glory of the latter house will be greater than the former.
