"Who is left among you that saw this house
in its former glory? How do you see it now?
Is it now in your sight as nothing? Yet now
take courage O Zerubbabel, says the Lord;
take courage, O Joshua....take courage all you
people of the land, says the Lord; work, for I am
with you says the Lord of hosts, according to the promise
I made you when you came out of Egypt.... ....My Spirit abides among you: fear not. For thus says
the Lord of hosts: Once again in a little while I will
shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and
the dry land; and I will shake all the nations, so
that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and
I will fill this house with splendor says the Lord of hosts."
