3 Who is left among youwho saw this house in its former glory?And how do you see it now?Does it not seem like nothing in your eyes?
4 Now be strong, Zerubbabel—oracle of the Lord—be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, high priest,Be strong, all you people of the land—oracle of the Lord—and work! For I am with you—oracle of the Lord of hosts.
5 This is the commitment I made to youwhen you came out of Egypt.My spirit remains in your midst;do not fear!
6 For thus says the Lord of hosts:In just a little while,I will shake the heavens and the earth,the sea and the dry land.
7 I will shake all the nations,so that the treasures of all the nations will come in.And I will fill this house with glory—says the Lord of hosts.
8 Mine is the silver and mine the gold—oracle of the Lord of hosts.
9 Greater will be the glory of this housethe latter more than the former—says the Lord of hosts;And in this place I will give you peace—oracle of the Lord of hosts.
