Haggai 1:13Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read VersionThen Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, delivered this message to the people: “The Lord says, ‘I am with you!’” See the chapter |
People of Israel and Judah, I am with you.” This message is from the Lord. “I will save you. I sent you to those nations, but I will completely destroy all of them. It is true; I will destroy those nations, but I will not destroy you. You must be punished for the bad things you did, but I will discipline you fairly.”
The Lord sends his servants to tell his messages to the people, and he makes those messages come true. He sends messengers to tell the people what they should do, and he proves that the advice is good. The Lord says to Jerusalem, “People will live in you again.” He says to the cities of Judah, “You will be rebuilt.” He says to them, “I will repair your ruins.”
