4 Yet now ^hbe strong, O ^dZerubbabel, declares the Lord. ^hBe strong, O ^dJoshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. ^hBe strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. ⁱWork, for ^jI am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, 5 ^kaccording to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. ^lMy Spirit remains in your midst. ^mFear not.

21 “Speak to ^jZerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, ^kI am about to shake the heavens and the earth, 22 and ^lto overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and ^moverthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall go down, ⁿevery one by the sword of his brother. 23 On that day, declares the Lord of hosts, I will take you, O ^jZerubbabel ^omy servant, the son of ^pShealtiel, declares the Lord, and make you ^qlike a¹ signet ring, ^ofor I have chosen you, declares the Lord of hosts.”
