Haggai 2:3–9

³Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Doesn’t it seem like nothing to you? ^vw4Even so, be strong, Zerubbabel”—this is the Lord’s declaration. ^x“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” ^y—the declaration of the Lord of Hosts. ⁵“This is the promise I made to you when you came out of Egypt, ^zand My Spirit is present among you; don’t be afraid.”

⁶For the Lord of Hosts says this: “Once more, in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, ^athe sea and the dry land. ^b7I will shake all the nations so that the treasures of all the nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,” ^csays the Lord of Hosts. ⁸“The silver and gold belong to Me”—this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts. ⁹“The final glory of this house ^dwill be greater than the first,” ^esays the Lord of Hosts. “I will provide peace in this place” ^f—this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.
