Haggai 2:3-5

International Standard Version

³ ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? And what does it look like now? From what you can see, it seems like nothing, doesn’t it? ⁴ Now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord. ‘Go to work, because I am with you,’ declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies. ⁵ ‘My Spirit continues to dwell among you, according to^[a] the covenant I established when you came out from Egypt. Don’t be afraid!’
