2“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of 1hostsH6635, ‘ThisH2088 peopleH5971 saysH559, “The timeH6256 has not comeH935, even the timeH6256 for the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 to be rebuiltH1129.”’” 3Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 by HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 4“Is it timeH6256 for you yourselvesH864 to dwellH3427 in your paneledH5603 housesH1004 while thisH2088 houseH1004 2lies desolateH2720?” 5NowH6258 therefore, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “3ConsiderH7760H3824H5921 your waysH1870! 6You have 4sownH2232 muchH7235, but 5harvestH935 littleH4592; you eatH398, but there is not enough to be satisfiedH7654; you drinkH8354, but there is 6not enough to becomeH7937 drunkH7937; you putH3847 on clothingH3847, but noH369 oneH369 is warmH2552 enough; and he who earnsH7936, earnsH7936 wagesH7939 to put into a purseH6872 with holesH5344.”

7ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “7ConsiderH7760H3824H5921 your waysH1870! 8GoH5927 up to the 8mountainsH2022, bringH935 woodH6086 and 9rebuildH1129 the 10templeH1004, that I may be 11pleasedH7521 with it and be 12glorifiedH3513,” saysH559 the LordH3068. 9“13You lookH6437 for muchH7235, but beholdH2009, it comes to littleH4592; when you bringH935 it homeH1004, I 14blowH5301 it away. WhyH3282H4100?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “BecauseH3282 of My houseH1004 whichH834 15lies desolateH2720, while eachH376 of you runsH7323 to his own houseH1004.
