On the twenty-first day of the seventh month of the second year of Darius’s reign, this message from the Lord was delivered through the prophet Haggai: 

“Give this message to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the high priest, and to all the people.

Is there anyone among you who saw this house long ago, during its glory days? What do they think of what they see now? Is it not a very small thing? 

But I say to you, Zerubbabel, Joshua, and my people: do not be discouraged. Start working, for I am with you, says the Lord.

Do not be afraid, for my Spirit is in your midst. 

Thus says the Lord of hosts: In a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth, the sea, and the continents.

Then I will shake all the nations and bring in the treasures of the whole world. I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord. 

I will have as much silver and gold as I desire.

The reputation of this temple will be greater than before, and in this place, I will give peace,” says the Lord of hosts.
