5. The messenger responded to me:"Don’t you know what these are?"I said, "No, sir. I don’t."
6. He answered me:"This is the Lord’s word to Zerubbabel:Neither by power, nor by strength,but by my spirit, says the Lord of heavenly forces."
7. Who are you, great mountain?Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain.He will present the capstone to shouts of great gratitude.
8. The Lord’s word came to me:
9. The hands of Zerubbabel laid the foundation of this house,and his hands will finish itso that you will know that the Lord of heavenly forces has sent me to you.
