Haggai 1:2-11

2ThusH3541 speaketh the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, sayingH559, This peopleH5971 sayH559, It is notH3808 the time for usH935 to comeH935, the time for the LORD’SH3068 houseH1004 to be builtH1129.

3Then cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by HaggaiH2292 the prophetH5030, sayingH559,

4Is it a time for youH859 yourselves to dwellH3427 in your cieled housesH1004, whileH2088 this houseH1004 lieth waste?

5NowH6258 therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: ConsiderH7760 your waysH1870,

6Ye have sownH2232 muchH7235, and bringH935 in littleH4592; ye eatH398, but ye have notH369 enoughH4592; ye drinkH8354, but ye are notH369 filledH7654 with drinkH8354; ye clotheH3847 youH935, but there is noneH369 warmH2527; and he that earneth wagesH7936 earneth wagesH7936 to putH3847 it intoH413 a bagH6872 with holesH5344.

7ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: ConsiderH7760 your waysH1870.

8GoH935 upH5927 to the mountainH2022, and bringH935 woodH6086, and buildH1129 the houseH1004; and I will takeH935 pleasureH7521 in it, and I will be glorifiedH3513, saith the LORDH3068.

9Ye lookedH6437 for muchH7235, and, loH2009, it cameH935 to littleH4592; and when ye broughtH935 it homeH1004, I didH4100 blowH5301 uponH935 it. WhyH4100? saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. BecauseH3282 of mine houseH1004 that lieth waste, whileH4592 ye runH7323 everyH376 manH376 to his ownH376 houseH1004.

10Therefore for your sakeH5921 the heavenH8064 is stayed from dewH2919, and the earthH776 is stayed from herH5921 fruitH2981.

11And I calledH7121 for a drought uponH5921 the landH776, and uponH5921 the mountainsH2022, and uponH5921 the corn, and uponH5921 the wineH8492, and uponH5921 the oilH3323, and uponH5921 that whichH834 the groundH776 bringeth forthH3318, and uponH5921 menH120, and uponH5921 cattleH929, and uponH5921 allH3605 the labour of the handsH3709.
