Royal expectations

20 And the Lord’s word came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying:

21 Speak to Judah’s governor Zerubbabel:
I am about to make the heavens and the earth quake.
22         I will overthrow the thrones of the kingdoms;
            I will destroy the strength of the nations.[a]
        I will overthrow chariot and rider;
            horses and riders will fall.
        Each one will fall by the sword of his companion.
23 On that day, says the Lord of heavenly forces:
I will take you, Zerubbabel, Shealtiel’s son, my servant, says the Lord;
        I will make you like a signet ring
            because I have chosen you, says the Lord of heavenly forces.
