Haggai 1:2-6

2“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘These people say, “The time has not come that the Lord’s house (temple) should be rebuilt.” ’ ”

3Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

4“Is it time for you yourselves to live in your [expensive] paneled houses while this house [of the Lord] lies in ruins?”

5Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, “Consider your ways and thoughtfully reflect on your conduct!

6You have planted much, but you harvest little; you eat, but you do not have enough; you drink, but you do not have enough to be intoxicated; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns wages earns them just to put them in a bag with holes in it [because God has withheld His blessing].”
