Haggai 2:1-9

¹In the seventh month, in the twenty-first day of the month, the Word of Yahweh came by Haggai the prophet, saying, ²"Speak now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying, ³`Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Isn`t it in your eyes as nothing? ⁴Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel,` says Yahweh. `Be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,` says Yahweh, `and work, for I am with you,` says Yahweh of Hosts. <sup>5</sup>This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. Don`t be afraid.` <sup>6</sup>For this is what Yahweh of Hosts says: `Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land; ⁷and I will shake all nations. The precious things of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of Hosts. ⁸The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,` says Yahweh of Hosts. <sup>9</sup>`The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,` says Yahweh of Hosts; `and in this place will I give peace,` says Yahweh of Hosts."
