19. Is not the seed yet in the barn? Not even the vine, nor the fig tree, nor the pomegranate, nor the olive tree, has blossomed yet, but from this day will I bless you.
20. And the word of the Lord came the second time unto Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
21. Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I cause the heavens and the earth to shake,
22. and I will overthrow the throne of the kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdom of the Gentiles, and I will overthrow the chariot and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, each one by the sword of his brother.
23. In that day, said the Lord of the hosts, I will take thee, O Zerubbabel, my slave, the son of Shealtiel, said the Lord, and will make thee as a signet ring; for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of the hosts.
