²⁰ The Word of Yahweh came the second time to Haggai in the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,

^{21 Ref} "Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, 'I will shake the heavens and the earth.

^{22 Ref} I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.

^{23 Ref} In that day, says Yahweh of Hosts, will I take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,' says Yahweh, 'and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,' says Yahweh of Hosts."
