Haggai 2:1-9 ▼

1 In the seventh month, on the twenty-first of the month, the word of YHWH came by the hand Haggai the prophet, saying,

2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying:

3 ‘Who is remaining among you? that saw this house in its former glory? And how are you? seeing it now? Is it not in comparison as nothing in your? eyes?’

4 And now be strong, O Zerubbabel, a declaration of YHWH, and be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, a declaration of YHWH, and work. For I am with you?, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts,

5 the word that I cut with you? at your? coming forth from Egypt, and My Spirit is standing in your? midst. Do not be afraid!”

6 For thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Once more, it is a little while, and I will be shaking the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the dry land.

7 And I will shake all the nations, and they will come with the treasure of all the nations, and I will fill this house with glory, says YHWH of Hosts.

8 Unto Me is the silver, and unto Me the gold, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts.

9 Greater will be the glory of this latter house than the former, says YHWH of Hosts, and in this place I will give peace, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts.”
