Haggai 1:12
The Response of the People
1:12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak, along with the whole remnant of the people, obeyed the Lord their God. They responded favorably to the message of the prophet Haggai, who spoke just as the Lord their God had instructed him, and the people began to respect the Lord.
Haggai 2:4
2:4 Even so, take heart, Zerubbabel,’ says the
Lord. ‘Take heart, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and
all you citizens of the land,’
says the
Lord, ‘and begin to work. For I am with you,’ says the
Lord who rules over all.
Haggai 2:23
2:23 On that day,’
says the
Lord who rules over all, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, my servant,’
says the
Lord, ‘and I will make you like a signet ring,
for I have chosen you,’ says the
Lord who rules over all.”
