9“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, ‘Let your handsH3027 be 8strongH2388, you who are listeningH8085 in theseH428 daysH3117 to theseH428 wordsH1697 from the mouthH6310 of the 9prophetsH5030, those whoH834 spoke in the dayH3117 that the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 was laidH3245, to the end that the templeH1964 might be builtH1129. 10For beforeH6440 thoseH1992 daysH3117 there was 10noH3808 wageH7939 for manH120 or any wageH7939 for animalH929; and for him who wentH3318 out or cameH935 in thereH369 was noH3808 1112peaceH7965 becauseH4480 of 13his enemiesH6862, and I 14setH7971 allH3605 menH120 oneH376 against anotherH7453. 11But nowH6258 I will 15not 16treat the remnantH7611 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 as in the formerH7223 daysH3117,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635. 12‘For there will be 17peaceH7965 for the seedH2233: the vineH1612 will yieldH5414 its fruitH6529, the landH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH2981 and the heavensH8064 will giveH5414 their 18dewH2919; and I will cause the remnantH7611 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 to inheritH5157 19allH3605 theseH428 things. 13It will comeH1961 about that justH3512 as you were a 20curseH7045 among the nationsH1471, O houseH1004 of JudahH3063 and houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, soH3651 I will saveH3467 you that you may becomeH1961 a 21blessingH1293. Do not fearH3372; let your 22handsH3027 be strongH2388.’
