Haggai 1:12-14

¹² Zerubbabel and Joshua, together with the others who had returned from exile in Babylonia, obeyed the Lord's message spoken by his prophet Haggai, and they started showing proper respect for the Lord. ¹³ Haggai then told them that the Lord had promised to be with them. ¹⁴ So the Lord God All-Powerful made everyone eager to work on his temple, especially Zerubbabel and Joshua.
