- 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,耶和华的话临到先知哈该说,
- 你要晓谕犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯,和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚。并剩下的百姓,说,
- 你们中间存留的,有谁见过这殿从前的荣耀呢。现在你们看着如何。岂不在眼中看如无有麽。
- 耶和华说,所罗巴伯阿,虽然如此,你当刚强。约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚阿,你也当刚强。这地的百姓,你们都当刚强做工,因为我与你们同在。这是万军之耶和华说的。
- 这是照着你们出埃及我与你们立约的话。那时,我的灵住在你们中间。你们不要惧怕。
