Chaggai 2:2-4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

² Speak now to Zerubavel ben Sh’altiel, Governor of Yehudah, and to Yehoshua ben Yehotzadak, the Kohen HaGadol, and to the she’erit HaAm, saying,

³ Who is left among you that saw this Beis [Hamikdash] in her kavod harishon? And how do ye see it now? In comparison to it, is it not in your eyes as nothing?

⁴ Yet now chazak (be strong), O Zerubavel, saith Hashem; and chazak (be strong), O Yehoshua ben Yehotzadak, Kohen HaGadol; and chazak (be strong), kol Am Ha’Aretz, saith Hashem, and work; for I am with you, saith Hashem Tzva’os.
