Så sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud: Vær sterke til hender, dere som hører disse ord i disse dager fra profetenes munn, de som var der da grunnsteinen til Herrens, hærskarenes Guds hus ble lagt, tempelet, for at det skulle bygges.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets that were in the day that the foundation of the house of Jehovah of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
