| 0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible recap. |
| 0:13.2 | Today we finished our 33rd book of the Bible, and in the next 11 days we'll be finishing |
| 0:18.4 | six more books and the whole Old Testament. |
| 0:21.7 | We first met the minor prophet Haggai yesterday in Ezra 5 where he was standing around the |

| 1:12.6 | a thing now, but we've got more important walls to panel. |
| 1:15.7 | No matter what you do to your homes and your wardrobes and your lifestyles, it will never |
