Haggai2:4

4 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.

In this juncture, though old men weep for the disproportion of the two Temples, yet now.

Be of good courage your selves O Zerubbabel, and thou O Ioshua, and encourage others by your Example, animate each other, that all the people of the Land may take heart with you.

Forthwith set about the building of the Temple.

Both to defend you from Enemies, to supply you with necessaries, to bless and accept you, vid. chap. 1. ver. 13.

Marginal references: Zech. 8.9.
