“Even so, be strong, Zerubbabel ​— ​this is the LORD’s declaration. Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land ​— ​this is the LORD’s declaration. Work! For I am with you ​— ​the declaration of the LORD of Armies.

“Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah: I am going to shake the heavens and the earth.

“On that day” ​— ​this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies ​— ​“I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, my servant” ​— ​this is the LORD’s declaration ​— ​“and make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you.” This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.

So he answered me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by strength or by might, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD of Armies.

“Zerubbabel’s hands have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you.
