3. Who is left among you that saw this Beis [Hamikdash] in her kavod harishon? And how do ye see it now? In comparison to it, is it not in your eyes as nothing?
4. Yet now chazak (be strong), O Zerubavel, saith Hashem; and chazak (be strong), O Yehoshua ben Yehotzadak, Kohen HaGadol; and chazak (be strong), kol Am Ha'Aretz, saith Hashem, and work; for I am with you, saith Hashem Tzva'os.
5. According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Mitzrayim, so My Ruach [Hakodesh] remaineth among you; fear ye not.
6. For thus saith Hashem Tzva'os: Once more, it is a little while, and I will shake HaShomayim and Ha'Aretz and the yam (sea) and the kharavah (arid land);
7. And I will shake kol Goyim, and the Chemdat kol HaGoyim [desired of all nations; i.e., Moshiach, Shmuel Alef 9:20, Malachi 3:1] shall come: and I will fill this Beis [HaMikdash] with kavod, saith Hashem Tzva'os.
8. The kesef is Mine, and the zahav is Mine, saith Hashem Tzva'os.
9. The kavod of this latter Beis shall be greater than of the former, saith Hashem Tzva'os: and in this place will I give shalom, saith Hashem Tzva'os.
