Haggai 2:1-5
1599 Geneva Bible
2 He showeth that the glory of the second Temple shall exceed the first.
1 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of king Darius,
2 In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Lord by the ministry of the Prophet Haggai, saying,
3 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel prince of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak the high Priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
4 Who is left among you that saw this [a]House in her first glory, and how do you see it now? is it not in your eyes, in comparison of it as nothing?
5 Yet now be of good courage, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord, and be of good comfort, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak the high Priest: and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and [b]do it: for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts.
