[1:12] Then Zerubbabel and Joshua and all the people who had returned from the exile in Babylonia, did what the Lord their God told them to do. They were afraid and obeyed the prophet Haggai, the Lord's messenger.
[1:13] Then Haggai gave the Lord's message to the people: “I will be with you—that is my promise.”
[1:14] The Lord inspired everyone to work on the Temple: Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah; Joshua, the High Priest, and all the people who had returned from the exile. They began working on the Temple of the Lord Almighty, their God,
[1:15] on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month of the second year that Darius was emperor.
