Aggée 2:2 In-Context

1 Le vingt et unième jour du septième mois, la parole de l'Éternel fut adressée, par Aggée le prophète, en ces termes:
2 Parle donc à Zorobabel, fils de Salathiel, gouverneur de Juda, et à Joshua, fils de Jotsadak, grand sacrificateur, et au reste du peuple, et dis-leur:
3 Qui est-ce qui reste parmi vous, de ceux qui ont vu cette maison dans sa gloire première, et comment la voyez-vous maintenant? Telle qu'elle est, n'est-elle pas comme un rien à vos yeux?
4 Or maintenant, courage, Zorobabel! dit l'Éternel; courage, Joshua, fils de Jotsadak, grand sacrificateur! et courage, vous, tout le peuple du pays! dit l'Éternel; et travaillez, car je suis avec vous, dit l'Éternel des armées,
5 Selon l'alliance que j'ai traitée avec vous quand vous sortîtes d'Égypte, et mon Esprit demeure au milieu de vous: ne craignez point!
