Haggai 1:2-9
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
2"Thus says the Lord of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord." 3Then the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, 4"Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? 5Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. 6You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.
7"Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways.
8Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the Lord.
9You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.
