Haggai 1:14–2:9

¹⁴And Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work on the house of Jehovah of hosts, their God, ¹⁵in the four and twentieth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

2In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying, ²Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying, ³Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing? ⁴Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith Jehovah; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you, saith Jehovah of hosts, ⁵according to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit abode among you: fear ye not. ⁶For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; ⁷and I will shake all nations; and the precious things of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. ⁸The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts. ⁹The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts.
