How do you see it now? g Is it not as nothing in your eyes? 4 Yet now h be strong, O d Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. h Be strong, O d Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. h Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. i Work, for j I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, 5 k according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. l My Spirit remains in your midst. m Fear not. 6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: n Yet once more, in a little while, o I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7 And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and p I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8 q The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. 9 r The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And s in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.'"
