2that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:

“TheseH2088 H559 peopleH5971 sayH559, ‘The timeH6256 has not yetH3808 comeH935 H6256to rebuildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.’”

3Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 throughH3027 HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559:

4“Is it a timeH6256 for you yourselvesH859to liveH3427 in your paneledH5603 housesH1004,while thisH2088 houseH1004 lies in ruinsH2720?”

5NowH6258 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:

“Consider carefullyH7760 H3824 H5921 your waysH1870.

6You have plantedH2232 muchH7235but harvestedH935 littleH4592.You eatH398 but neverH369 have enoughH7654.You drinkH8354 but neverH369 have your fillH7937.You put on clothesH3847 but neverH369 get warmH2552.You earn wagesH7936 to put intoH413 a bagH6872 pierced throughH5344.”

7This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:

“Consider carefullyH7760 H3824 H5921 your waysH1870.

8Go upH5927 into the hillsH2022,bring downH935 lumberH6086, and buildH1129 the houseH1004,so that I may take pleasureH7521 in it and be glorifiedH3513,saysH559 the LORDH3068.
