9“The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559 thisH3541: ‘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 armiesH6635 was laidH3245, so that the templeH1964 might be builtH1129. 10For beforeH6440 thoseH1992 daysH3117 there was 10noH3808 wageH7939 for manH120 norH369 any wageH7939 for animalH929; and for him who wentH3318 outH3318 or cameH935 inH935 thereH369 wasH369 noH369 1112peaceH7965 becauseH4480 of 13his enemiesH6862, and I 14sentH7971 allH3605 the peopleH120 against oneH376 anotherH7453. 11But nowH6258 I will 15not 16treat the remnantH7611 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 as in the formerH7223 daysH3117,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. 12‘For there will be 17the seedH2233 of peaceH7965: the vineH1612 will yieldH5414 its fruitH6529, the landH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH2981, and the heavensH8064 will provideH5414 their 18dewH2919; and I will giveH5157 to the remnantH7611 of thisH2088 peopleH5971 19allH3605 theseH428 things asH5157 anH5157 inheritanceH5157. 13And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 that justH3512 asH3512 you were a 20curseH7045 among the nationsH1471, 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.’
