Hagai 1:10

1:10 This is why the sky ¹  has held back its dew and the earth its produce. ² 

Hagai 2:22

2:22 I will overthrow royal thrones and shatter the might of earthly kingdoms. ³  I will overthrow chariots and those who ride them, and horses and their riders will fall as people kill one another. ⁴ 

[1:10]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text has “over you” (so KJV), but this is redundant in contemporary English and has been left untranslated.

[1:10]  ² sn This linkage of human sin to natural disaster is reminiscent of the curse brought upon the earth by Adam’s disobedience (Gen 3:17-19; see Rom 8:20-22).

[2:22]  ³ tn Heb “the kingdoms of the nations.” Cf. KJV “the kingdoms of the heathen”; NIV, NLT “foreign kingdoms.”

[2:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “and horses and their riders will go down, a man with a sword his brother”; KJV “every one by the sword of his brother.”
