Context of Haggai 1:7

5But now,” thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot: “Set your heart on your ways! 6You sowed much but bring in little. You eat but are never satisfied. You drink but not enough to get filled. You put on clothes but no one is warm. And whoever earns wages works for a bag full of holes.” Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot: “Set your heart on your ways! 8Go up to the hills, bring wood and build the House. Then I will delight in it and I will be glorified,” says Adonai. 9“You have looked for much, but indeed, there is little. What you have brought home, I have blown away. Why is this?”—it is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot—“because My House lies in ruins, while you are running, each to his own house.
