| 2:16 | And now (I praye you) consydre from this daye forth, & how it hath gone wt you afore or euer there was layed one stone vpon another in the temple of the Lord: |
| 2:17 | that when ye came to a corne heape of .xx. bushels, there were scarce ten: & that when ye came to the wyne presse for to powre out .l. pottes of wyne, there were scarce .xx. |
| 2:18 | For I smote you wt heate, blastyng & hayle stones in all the labours of youre handes: yet was there none of you, that wolde turne vnto me, sayeth the Lord. |

| 2:20 | is not the sede yet in the barne? haue not the vynes, the fyggetrees, the pomgranates, and olyue trees bene yet vnfrutefull? but from thys daye forth, I shal make them to prospere. |

| 2:22 | Speake to Zorobabell the prynce of Iuda, & saye: I wyll shake both heauen & earth, |
| 2:23 | and ouerthrowe the seate of the kyngdomes, yee, & destroye the myghty kyngdome of the Heathen. I wyll ouerthrowe the charrettes, & those that syt vpon them, so that both horse and man shall fall downe, euery man thorow his neyghbours swerde.Hag |
The Great Bible 1539
The Great Bible of 1539 was the first authorized edition of the Bible in English, authorized by King Henry VIII of England to be read aloud in the church services of the Church of England. The Great Bible was prepared by Myles Coverdale, working under commission of Thomas, Lord Cromwell, Secretary to Henry VIII and Vicar General. In 1538, Cromwell directed the clergy to provide "one book of the bible of the largest volume in English, and the same set up in some convenient place within the said church that ye have care of, whereas your parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and read it."
