2 ¹ a second message came from the Lord. It came to Haggai the prophet. The message came on the 21st day of the seventh month. The Lord said, ² “Speak to Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah and the son of Shealtiel. Also speak to Joshua the high priest, the son of Jozadak. And speak to all my people who are still left alive. Ask them, ³ ‘Did any of you who are here see how beautiful this temple used to be? How does it look to you now? It doesn’t look so good, does it?
