Haggai 1:5-9

5Now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760H3824 your waysH1870.1

6Ye have sownH2232 muchH7235, and bringH935 in littleH4592; ye eatH398, but ye have not enoughH7654; ye drinkH8354, but ye are not filled with drinkH7937; ye clotheH3847 yourselves, but there is none warmH2527; and he that earneth wagesH7936 earneth wagesH7936 to put it into a bagH6872 with holesH5344.2

7Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; ConsiderH7760H3824 your waysH1870.3

8Go upH5927 to the mountainH2022, and bringH935 woodH6086, and buildH1129 the houseH1004; and I will take pleasureH7521 in it, and I will be glorifiedH3513, saithH559 the LORDH3068.

9Ye lookedH6437 for muchH7235, and, lo, it came to littleH4592; and when ye broughtH935 it homeH1004, I did blowH5301 upon it. Why? saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. BecauseH3282 of my houseH1004 that is wasteH2720, and ye runH7323 every manH376 to his own houseH1004.4
