Before that time there were no wages for people or hire for animals. No one could go about their business safely because of their enemies, since I had turned everyone against their neighbor.

Before the work was started again, there was no pay for the people. And there was no money to rent animals. People could not go about their business safely because of their enemies. I had turned all of them against one another.

For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for beast, neither was there any safety from the foe for him who went out or came in, for I set every man against his neighbor.

Before the work on the Temple began, there were no jobs and no money to hire people or animals. No traveler was safe from the enemy, for there were enemies on all sides. I had turned everyone against each other.

若城中響起號角，居民豈不恐懼顫抖？若災禍降臨城中，豈不是耶和華的作為？

那時，有人盼望得到二十斗穀物，卻只有十斗。有人盼望得到五十桶酒，榨酒池中卻只有二十桶。我曾用蟲災、黴災和冰雹毀滅你們的作物，你們仍沒有歸向我。這是耶和華說的。九月二十四日是我的殿奠定根基的日子。你們要思想這個日子，要認真思想。

「我必使埃及人彼此為敵——手足相殘，鄰居互鬥，城邑相爭，邦國互攻。

即使他們被敵人擄去，我也要命刀劍追殺他們。我要定睛在他們身上，不是要賜福而是要降禍。」

「不要以為我來了會讓天下太平，我並非帶來和平，乃是帶來刀劍。因為我來是要叫兒子與父親作對，女兒與母親作對，媳婦與婆婆作對，家人之間反目成仇。

那時，人們出入不得平安，因為各地都有動亂。邦國與邦國、城邑與城邑互相攻擊破壞，因為上帝用各樣的災難擾亂他們。但你們要剛強，不要雙手發軟，因為你們必因所行的而得獎賞。」
