Haggai 2:1-9

The Glory of Yahweh Will Fill the Temple

On the twenty-first of the seventh month, the word of Yahweh came by the hand of ^aHaggai the prophet saying, 2 “Speak now to ^aZerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, ^agovernor of Judah, and to ^aJoshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the ^bremnant of the people saying, 3 ‘Who among you ^aremains who saw this house in its ^bformer glory? And how do you see it now? Does it not seem like nothing in your eyes? 4 But now, ^abe strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares Yahweh, ‘be strong also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all you people of the land, be strong,’ declares Yahweh, ‘and work; for ^bI am with you,’ declares Yahweh of hosts. 5 ‘As for the ¹^apromise which I cut with you when you came out of Egypt, ²My ^bSpirit is standing in your midst; ^cdo not fear!’ 6 For thus says Yahweh of hosts, ‘^aOnce more—¹in a ^blittle while—I am going to ^cshake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. 7 And I will shake ^aall the nations; and ¹they will come with the ^bdesirable things of all nations, and I will ^cfill this house with glory,’ says Yahweh of hosts. 8 ‘The ^asilver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ declares Yahweh of hosts. 9 ‘The latter ^aglory of this house will be greater than the ^bformer,’ says Yahweh of hosts, ‘and in this place I will give ^cpeace,’ declares Yahweh of hosts.”
