Haggai 1:3-11

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 1lies desolateH2720?” 5NowH6258 therefore, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “2ConsiderH7760H3824H5921 your waysH1870! 6You have 3sownH2232 muchH7235, but 4harvestH935 littleH4592; you eatH398, but there is not enough to be satisfiedH7654; you drinkH8354, but there is 5not 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, “6ConsiderH7760H3824H5921 your waysH1870! 8GoH5927 up to the 7mountainsH2022, bringH935 woodH6086 and 8rebuildH1129 the 9templeH1004, that I may be 10pleasedH7521 with it and be 11glorifiedH3513,” saysH559 the LordH3068. 9“12You lookH6437 for muchH7235, but beholdH2009, it comes to littleH4592; when you bringH935 it homeH1004, I 13blowH5301 it away. WhyH3282H4100?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “BecauseH3282 of My houseH1004 whichH834 14lies desolateH2720, while eachH376 of you runsH7323 to his own houseH1004. 10ThereforeH5921H3651, becauseH5921 of you the 15skyH8064 has withheldH3607 16its dewH2919 and the earthH776 has withheldH3607 its produceH2981. 11I calledH7121 for a 17droughtH2721 on the landH776, on the mountainsH2022, on the grainH1715, on the newH8492 wineH8492, on the oilH3323, on whatH834 the groundH127 producesH3318, on 18menH120, on cattleH929, and on 19allH3605 the laborH3018 of 20your handsH3709.”
