7. He incites them to the building.
12. He promises them, being forward, God's assistance.














(12-15) The Second Utterance.--The people turn a willing ear to Haggai's exhortation, and the prophet is now charged to inform them of the return of God's favour, in the gracious utterance, "I am with you, saith the Lord."

(12) With all the remnant of.--The word may mean either "the remnant" restored from Babylon, or merely "the remainder" of the people. Similarly in Haggai 1:14; Haggai 2:2.

They should that true religion which the Bible calls "the fear of the Lord." They saw their faults, perhaps dreaded some new chastisement, and hastened to obey the prophet's injunction (Ezra 5:1, 2).
