Thus the builders were not left to struggle alone; "with them were the prophets of God helping them;" and the Lord of hosts Himself had declared, "Be strong, . . . and work: for I am with you." Ezra 5:2; Haggai 2:4.

Håndværkerne blev ikke overladt til at kæmpe alene. "Guds profeter ..... støttede dem," og Hærskarers Herre havde selv sagt: "Vær kun trøstig ..... arbejd kun, thi jeg er med eder." Ezra 5,2; Hagg. 2,4.
