Does it not seem to you like nothing?H7604H7200H1004H7223H3519H7200H5869H3644 4But now be strong, O Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD. 'Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the LORD, 'and work. For I am with you,' declares the LORD Almighty.H2388H2216H5002H3068H2388H3091H1121H3087H1419H3548H2388H5971H776H5002H3068H6213H5002H3068H6635 5'This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.'H1697H3772H3318H4714H7307H5975H8432H3372 6"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.H559H3068H6635H259H4592H7493H8064H776H3220H2724 7I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty.H7493H1471H2532H1471H935H4390H1004H3519H559H3068H6635 8'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty.H3701H2091H5002H3068H6635 9'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."H3519H314H1004H1419H7223H5002H3068H6635H4725H5414H7965H559H3068H6635 10On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Haggai:H702H6242H8671H8147H8141H1867H1697H3068H3027H2292H5030H559 11"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'Ask the priests what the law says:H559H3068H6635H7592H3548H8451H559 12If a person carries consecrated meat in the fold of his garment, and that fold touches some bread or stew, some wine, oil or other food, does it become consecrated?'" The priests answered, "No."H376H5375H6944H1320H3671H899H3671H5060H3899H5138H3196H8081H3978H6942H3548H6030H559 13Then Haggai said, "If a person defiled by contact with a dead body touches one of these things, does it become defiled?" "Yes," the priests replied, "it becomes defiled."H559H2292H2931H5315H5060H2930H3548H6030H559H2930 14Then Haggai said, "'So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,' declares the LORD. 'Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled.H6030H2292H559H5971H1471H6440H5002H3068H4639H3027H7126H2931 15"'Now give careful thought to this from this day on--consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in the LORD'S temple.H7760H3824H3117H4605H2962H68H7760H68H1964H3068 16When anyone came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When anyone went to a wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were only twenty.H935H6194H6242H6235H935H3342H2834H2572H6333H6242 17I struck all the work of your hands with blight, mildew and hail, yet you did not turn to me,' declares the LORD.H5221H7711H3420H1259H4639H3027H5002H3068 18'From this day on, from this twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, give careful thought to the day when the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid. Give careful thought:H7760H3824H3117H4605H702H6242H3117H8671H3117H3245H3068H1964H7760H3824 19Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit.

I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.H2015H3678H4467H8045H2392H4467H1471H2015H4818H7392H5483H7392H3381H376H2719H251 23"'On that day,' declares the LORD Almighty, 'I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,' declares the LORD, 'and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,' declares the LORD Almighty."H3117H5002H3068H6635H3947H2216H5650H1121H7597H5002H3068H7760H2368H977H5002H3068H6635
