* Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel Sh @#altiy #el #, governor of Judah , and to Joshua the son of Josedech , the high priest , and to the residue of the people , saying , * Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory ? and how do ye see it now ? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing ? * Yet now be strong , O Zerubbabel , saith the LORD ; and be strong , O Joshua , son of Josedech , the high priest ; and be strong , all ye people of the land , saith the LORD , and work : for I am with you , saith the LORD of hosts : * According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt , so my spirit remaineth among you : fear ye not . * For thus saith the LORD of hosts ; Yet once , it is a little while m @#at #, and I will shake the heavens , and the earth , and the sea , and the dry land ; * And I will shake all nations , and the desire of all nations shall come : and I will fill this house with glory , saith the LORD of hosts . * The silver is mine , and the gold is mine , saith the LORD of hosts . * The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former ri #shown #, saith the LORD of hosts : and in this place will I give peace , saith the LORD of hosts . * In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month , in the second year of Darius Dar #yavesh #, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet , saying , * Thus saith the LORD of hosts ; Ask now the priests concerning the law , saying , * If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment , and with his skirt do touch bread , or pottage , or wine , or oil , or any meat ma #akal #, shall it be holy ? And the priests answered and said , No . * Then said Haggai , If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these , shall it be unclean ? And the priests answered and said , It shall be unclean . * Then answered Haggai , and said , So is this people , and so is this nation before me , saith the LORD ; and so is every work of their hands ; and that which they offer there is unclean . * And now , I pray you , consider from this day and upward ma #al #, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD :
