But now take courage, Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD, 'take courage also, all you people of the land take courage,' declares the LORD, 'and work; for I am with you,' declares the LORD of hosts.God gives two instructions in this verse. First, he tells the people to have courage. Things have been tough for them recently, but they need to persevere because that's almost over.
Second, He tells them to do the work. Just because times are bad, doesn't mean one can shirk the things that need to be done. They've been given a task by God, and He is with them to complete it.
