Sapagkat sino ang humamak sa araw ng maliliit na bagay? Magagalak sila kapag nakita nila ang batong plomada sa kamay ni Zerubabel. Ang pitong ito ay ang mga mata ng Walang-Hanggan, na lumilibot sa buong lupa.

For, whoever despised the day when the Temple was founded which was small in their eyes, as is stated in Ezra (3:12): “But many of priests, etc., who had seen, etc., upon its foundation, wept aloud when they beheld this temple;” and in Haggai (2:3): “Is it not as nothing in your eyes?” - will rejoice now when they see the plummet suspended from the plumb line in the hand of the architect, the head of the builders, with which he directs a line to the corner, and this will be in the hand of Zerubbabel.
