4 Yet now ^qbe strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. Be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. Work, for ^rI am with you, declares the Lord of hosts,

13 And as you have been a ^qbyword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and ^ryou shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong.”
