Haggai 2:1-9

The Coming Glory of the Temple

1 aIn the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet: 2Speak now to bZerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to cJoshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, 3 dWho is left among you who saw this house ein its former glory? How do you see it now? fIs it not as nothing in your eyes? 4Yet now gbe strong, O hZerubbabel, declares the Lord. iBe strong, O jJoshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. kBe strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. lWork, for mI am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, 5 naccording to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. oMy Spirit remains in your midst. pFear not. 6For thus says the Lord of hosts: qYet once more, in a little while, rI will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and sI will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8 tThe silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. 9 uThe latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And vin this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’”
