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.
