Haggai 1:4-11

4“Is it timeH6256 for you yourselvesH864 to liveH3427 in your paneledH5603 housesH1004 while thisH2088 houseH1004 remains 1desolateH2720?” 5NowH6258 then, the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559 thisH3541: “2ConsiderH7760H3824H5921 your waysH1870! 6You have 3sownH2232 muchH7235, only to 4harvestH935 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 5anyone 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: “6ConsiderH7760H3824H5921 your waysH1870! 8GoH5927 upH5927 to the 7mountainsH2022, bringH935 woodH6086, and 8rebuildH1129 the 9templeH1004, that I may be 10pleasedH7521 with it and be 11honoredH3513,” saysH559 the LordH3068. 9“12You 13startH6437 an ambitiousH7235 projectH7235, but beholdH2009, it comes to littleH4592; when you bringH935 it homeH1004, I 14blowH5301 it away. WhyH3282H4100?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635. “It is becauseH3282 of My houseH1004 whichH834 15remains desolateH2720, while eachH376 of you runsH7323 to his own houseH1004. 10ThereforeH5921H3651, becauseH5921 of you the 16skyH8064 has withheldH3607 17its dewH2919, and the earthH776 has withheldH3607 its produceH2981. 11And I calledH7121 for a 18droughtH2721 on the landH776, on the mountainsH2022, on the grainH1715, on the newH8492 wineH8492, on the oilH3323, on whatH834 the groundH127 producesH3318, on 19mankindH120, on cattleH929, and on 20allH3605 the productsH3018 ofH3018 the laborH3018 of 21your handsH3709.”
