Haggai 2:6-9
1599 Geneva Bible
6 According to the word that I covenanted with you, when ye came out of Egypt: so my Spirit shall remain among you, fear ye not.
7 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, [a]Yet a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land:
8 And I will move all nations, and [b]the desire of all nations shall come, and I will fill this House with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.
9 The [c]silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
