Haggai 1:6-11

« Zeph 3Haggai 1Haggai 2 »

6 You have ^asown much, but bring in little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is ¹not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”
7 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Set your heart to consider your ways! 8 Go up to the ¹mountains and bring wood and ^arebuild the house of God, that I may be ^bpleased with it and be ^cglorified,” says Yahweh. 9 “^aYou look for much, but behold, it comes to little; and you bring it home, and I ^bblow it away. Why?” declares Yahweh of hosts, “Because of My house which ^clies waste, while each of you runs to his own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the ^asky has restrained ¹its dew and the earth has restrained its produce. 11 And I called for a ¹^adrought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on ^bmen, on cattle, and on ^call the labor of ²your hands.”
