In Haggai 1:1, Haggai 1:3, Haggai 2:1, Haggai 2:10, and Haggai 2:20, the APB renders clauses in which the word of the LORD comes by or to this prophet; in Haggai 1:12, Haggai 1:13, Haggai 2:13, and Haggai 2:14, he is the speaker whose words are obeyed or who addresses the people.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the form as the personal name “Haggai,” often with “the prophet,” and depicts him as recipient or messenger of the LORD's word and as a speaker. These clauses establish the named figure's role rather than a separate English rendering for each occurrence.
