Hebrews 12:26-29
New International Version
26 At that time his voice shook the earth,(A) but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[a](B) 27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken(C)—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken,(D) let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,(E) 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”[b](F)

26 Then his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven too.”[a] 27 Now this phrase “once more” indicates the removal of what is shaken, that is, of created things, so that what is unshaken may remain. 28 So since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us give thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to God in devotion and awe. 29 For our God is indeed a devouring fire.[b]

26 His voice shook the earth at that time, but now He has promised, Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven.(A)[a] 27 This expression, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of what can be shaken(B)—that is, created things—so that what is not shaken might remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us hold on to grace.[b] By it, we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,(C) 29 for our God is a consuming fire.(D)

Hebrews 12:26-29
King James Version
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Haggai 2:6-7
New International Version
6 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while(A) I will once more shake the heavens and the earth,(B) the sea and the dry land. 7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired(C) by all nations will come, and I will fill this house(D) with glory,(E)’ says the Lord Almighty.

New English Translation
6 Moreover, this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has said: “In just a little while[a] I will once again shake the sky[b] and the earth, the sea and the dry ground. 7 I will also shake up all the nations, and they[c] will offer their treasures;[d] then I will fill this temple with glory.” So the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has said.

- Haggai 2:6 tc The difficult MT reading עוֹד אַחַת מְעַט הִיא (ʿod ʾakhat meʿat hiʾ, “yet once, it is little”; cf. NAB “One moment yet, a little while”) appears as “yet once” in the LXX, omitting the last two Hebrew words. However, the point being made is that the anticipated action is imminent; thus the repetition provides emphasis.
- Haggai 2:6 tn Or “the heavens.” The same Hebrew word, שָׁמַיִם (shamayim), may be translated “sky” or “heavens” depending on the context. Although many English versions translate the term as “heavens” here, the other three elements present in this context (earth, sea, dry ground) suggest “sky” is in view.
- Haggai 2:7 tn Heb “all the nations.”
- Haggai 2:7 tn Though the subject here is singular (חֶמְדַּה, khemdah; “desire”), the preceding plural predicate mandates a collective subject, “desired (things)” or, better, an emendation to a plural form, חֲמֻדֹת (khamudot, “desirable [things],” hence “treasures”). Cf. ASV “the precious things”; NASB “the wealth”; NRSV “the treasure.” In the OT context this has no direct reference to the coming of the Messiah.
