Haggai 2:1-9

1On the twenty-first of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by 1Haggai the prophet, saying, 2“Speak now to 2Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, 3governor of Judah, and to 4Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the 5remnant of the people, saying, 3‘Who is 6left among you who saw this 7temple in its 8former glory? And how do you see it now? 9Does it not seem to you like nothing 10in comparison? 4But now 1112take courage, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord, ‘take courage also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all you people of the land take courage,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work; for 13I am with you,’ declares the Lord of armies. 5‘As for the 1415promise which I 16made you when you came out of Egypt, 17My 18Spirit remains in your midst; 19do not fear!’ 6For this is what the Lord of armies says: ‘20Once more 21in a 22little while, I am going to 23shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. 7I will shake 24all the nations; and 25they will come with the 26wealth of all nations, and I will 27fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord of armies. 8‘The 28silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ declares the Lord of armies. 9‘The latter 29glory of this house will be greater than the 30former,’ says the Lord of armies, ‘and in this place I will give 31peace,’ declares the Lord of armies.”
