Haggai 1:4-9

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
