1 In the seventh, in the twentieth and one to the month, was the word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying, 2 Say now to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Josedeck the great priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying, 3 Who being left among you who saw this house in its first glory? and how see ye it now? Is it not in your eyes like it as nothing? 4 And now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says Jehovah; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedeck the great priest; and be strong, O all people of the land, says Jehovah, and do, for I am with you, says Jehovah of armies. 5 The word which I cut out with you in bringing you forth out of Egypt, and my spirit stood in the midst of you; ye shall not fear. 6 For thus said Jehovah of armies; Yet once it is a little, and I shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7 And I shook all nations, and the desire of all nations came; and I filled this house with glory, said Jehovah of armies. 8 To me the silver and to me the gold, says Jehovah of armies.
