Haggai 1:2-9

2“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 1saysH559: ‘ThisH2088 peopleH5971 saysH559, “The timeH6256 has not comeH935, 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 liveH3427 in your paneledH5603 housesH1004 while thisH2088 houseH1004 remains 2desolateH2720?” 5NowH6258 then, the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559 thisH3541: “3ConsiderH7760H3824H5921 your waysH1870! 6You have 4sownH2232 muchH7235, only to 5harvestH935 littleH4592; you eatH398, but thereH369 isH369 notH369 enough to be satisfiedH7654; you drinkH8354, but thereH369 isH369 notH369 enough to becomeH7937 drunkH7937; you putH3847 onH3847 clothingH3847, but thereH369 isH369 notH369 enough for 6anyone to getH2552 warmH2552; and the one who earnsH7936, earnsH7936 wagesH7939 to put into a moneyH6872 bagH6872 fullH5344 ofH5344 holesH5344.”

7The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559 thisH3541: “7ConsiderH7760H3824H5921 your waysH1870! 8GoH5927 upH5927 to the 8mountainsH2022, bringH935 woodH6086, and 9rebuildH1129 the 10templeH1004, that I may be 11pleasedH7521 with it and be 12honoredH3513,” saysH559 the LordH3068. 9“13You 14startH6437 an ambitiousH7235 projectH7235, but beholdH2009, it comes to littleH4592; when you bringH935 it homeH1004, I 15blowH5301 it away. WhyH3282H4100?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. “It is becauseH3282 of My houseH1004 whichH834 16remains desolateH2720, while eachH376 of you runsH7323 to his own houseH1004.
