Haggai 1:2-9

2Thus speaketh Yhwh of Armies, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Yhwh's house should be built. 3Then came the word of Yhwh by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? 5Now therefore thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Consider your ways.1 6Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.2

7Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Consider your ways.3 8Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Yhwh. 9Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Yhwh of Armies. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.4
