9 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Now hear these words, “Let your hands be strong so that the temple may be built.”
This is also what the prophets said who were present when the foundation was laid for the house of the Lord Almighty.
10 Before that time there were no wages for people or hire for animals. No one could go about their business safely because
of their enemies, since I had turned everyone against their neighbour.
12 ‘The seed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will produce its crops, and the heavens will drop their dew.
I will give all these things as an inheritance to the remnant of this people.
Just as you, Judah and Israel, have been a curse among the nations, so I will save you, and you will be a blessing.
Do not be afraid, but let your hands be strong.’
14 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Just as I had determined to bring disaster on you and showed no pity when your ancestors angered me,’ says the Lord Almighty,
19 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad
occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.’
23 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew
by the hem of his robe and say, “Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.”’
The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak
and will come to rest on Damascus –
for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel
are on the Lord –
5 Ashkelon will see it and fear;
Gaza will writhe in agony,
and Ekron too, for her hope will wither.
Gaza will lose her king
and Ashkelon will be deserted.
