- On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai:
- "Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people. Ask them,
- 'Who of you is left who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing?
- But 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.
- 'This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.'

- 七月二十一日、耶和華的話臨到先知哈該說、
- 你要曉諭猶大省長撒拉鐵的兒子所羅巴伯和約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞、並剩下的百姓、說、
- 你們中間存留的、有誰見過這殿從前的榮耀呢.現在你們看著如何.豈不在眼中看如無有麼。
- 耶和華說、所羅巴伯阿、雖然如此、你當剛強.約撒答的兒子大祭司約書亞阿、你也當剛強.這地的百姓、你們都當剛強作工、因為我與你們同在.這是萬軍之耶和華說的。
- 這是照著你們出埃及我與你們立約的話.那時、我的靈住在你們中間.你們不要懼怕。
