Haggai 2:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ ‘Do any of you who are still alive remember how beautiful the Temple was before it was destroyed? What does it look like now? The truth is it means nothing to you!’ ⁴ But the Lord says: ‘Zerubbabel, be brave. Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, be brave. And all you people who live in the land, be brave,’ says the Lord. ‘Work, because I am with you,’ says the Lord of heaven’s armies. ⁵ ‘I made a promise to you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit is still with you. So don’t be afraid.’
