³‘Who is ^aleft among you who saw this ¹temple in its ^bformer glory? And how do you see it now? Does it not ²seem to you like nothing ³in comparison?

⁴‘But now ¹^atake courage, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord, ‘take courage also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all you people of the land take courage,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work; for ^bI am with you,’ declares the Lord of hosts.

⁵‘As for the ¹^apromise which I ²made you when you came out of Egypt, ³My ^bSpirit is abiding in your midst; ^cdo not fear!’

⁶“For thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘^aOnce more ¹in a ^blittle while, I am going to ^cshake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land.

⁷‘I will shake ^aall the nations; and ¹they will come with the ^bwealth of all nations, and I will ^cfill this house with glory,’ says the Lord of hosts.

⁸‘The ^asilver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the Lord of hosts.

⁹‘The latter ^aglory of this house will be greater than the ^bformer,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give ^cpeace,’ declares the Lord of hosts.”
