²“Speak to Zerubbabel^w son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, to Joshua son of Jozadak,^a^x the high priest, and to the remnant^y of the people. Ask them, ³‘Who of you is left who saw this house^z in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing?^a ⁴But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord. ‘Be strong,^b Joshua son of Jozadak,^c the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with^d you,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ⁵‘This is what I covenanted^e with you when you came out of Egypt.^f And my Spirit^g remains among you. Do not fear.’^h

⁶“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little whileⁱ I will once more shake the heavens and the earth,^j the sea and the dry land. ⁷I will shake all nations, and what is desired^k by all nations will come, and I will fill this house^l with glory,^m’ says the Lord Almighty. ⁸‘The silver is mine and the goldⁿ is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ⁹‘The glory^o of this present house^p will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,^q’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
