Haggai 2:19

17 ^aI struck you with blight and mildew and hail ^bin all the labors of your hands; ^cyet you did not turn to Me,’ says the Lord.

18 ‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from ^athe day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid—consider it:

19 ^aIs the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will ^bbless you.’ ”

Zerubbabel Chosen as a Signet

20 And again the word of the Lord came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,

21 “Speak to Zerubbabel, ^agovernor of Judah, saying:
^b‘I will shake heaven and earth.

22 ^aI will overthrow the throne of kingdoms;
I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms.
^bI will overthrow the chariots
And those who ride in them;
The horses and their riders shall come down,
Every one by the sword of his brother.

23 ‘In that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel My servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the Lord, ^a‘and will make you like a signet ring; for ^bI have chosen you,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
