הַ⁠שֹּֽׁמְעִים֙ בַּ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ⁠אֵ֔לֶּה אֵ֖ת הַ⁠דְּבָרִ֣ים הָ⁠אֵ֑לֶּה מִ⁠פִּי֙ הַ⁠נְּבִיאִ֔ים אֲ֠שֶׁר בְּ⁠י֞וֹם יֻסַּ֨ד בֵּית־יְהוָ֧ה צְבָא֛וֹת

This could mean: (1) the message Zechariah is giving today is almost the same as the message that Haggai (probably) gave when the temple construction started. Alternate translation: [you who are hearing today these same words as were from the mouth of the prophets who stood there on the day the house of Yahweh of Armies was founded] (2) prophets had repeatedly given a similar message ever since temple construction had started, these people had been hearing that. Alternate translation: [you who have kept hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets ever since the day the house of Yahweh of Armies was founded]
