Say to them, 3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this house of God as it was before in its greatness? And how does it look to you now? Is it anything like it was? 4 But now be strong, Zerubbabel,' says the Lord. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, head religious leader. And be strong, all you people of the land,' says the Lord. ‘Do the work, for I am with you,' says the Lord of All. 5 ‘As I promised you when you came out of Egypt, My Spirit is with you. Do not be afraid.' 6 For the Lord of All says, ‘Once again, in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. 7 I will shake all the nations so that the riches of all nations will come in. And I will fill this house with greatness,' says the Lord of All. 8 ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the Lord of All. 9 ‘This house will be even greater than it was before,' says the Lord of All. ‘And in this place I will give peace,' says the Lord of All."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Speak now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,.... Of whom, his descent and dignity, :-. The Septuagint version wrongly renders it "of the tribe of Judah"; in which it is followed by the Arabic version; for, though he was of the tribe of Judah, this does not sufficiently distinguish him; nor does it answer to the word here used, which is expressive of his office and dignity. The Vulgate Latin version, Luther, and Castalio, omit the particle נא, rendered "now", which is very emphatic. The prophet is ordered to go and say what he is bid, directly, immediately, at once, without any delay; the very day before mentioned, yea, at that very instant or moment, the people being now at work, under the eye of their governor; in order to remove an offence, which might discourage them in their work, taken from the meanness of the building, in comparison of the former temple:
and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people; these, besides the two former, even the whole body of the people, the remnant that were come out of the captivity of Babylon:
saying; to the above persons, as follows:
