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 that saw this house in its former glory? and how do ye see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?
4. But now be strong, Zerubbabel, saith Jehovah; and be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
5. The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit, remain among you: fear ye not.
6. For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7. and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts.
8. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts.
