Haggai 2:3–9

³‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Doesn’t it seem to you like nothing by comparison?^{p 4}Even so, be strong, Zerubbabel—this is the Lord’s declaration.^q Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land—this is the Lord’s declaration. Work! For I am with you^r—the declaration of the Lord of Armies. ⁵This is the promise I made to you when you came out of Egypt,^s and my Spirit is present among you; don’t be afraid.’ ”

⁶For the Lord of Armies says this: “Once more, in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth,^t the sea and the dry land.^{u 7}I will shake all the nations so that the treasures of all the nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,”^v says the Lord of Armies. ⁸“The silver and gold belong to me”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies. ⁹“The final glory of this house^A will be greater than the first,”^a says the Lord of Armies. “I will provide peace in this place”^b—this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.
