  • Hag 1:2-9 : 2 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: These people say, 'The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.' 3 Then the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai, saying: 4 Is this a time for you to live in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? 5 Now, this is what the LORD of Hosts says: Consider carefully your ways. 6 You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but are never satisfied. You drink but never have enough to be filled. You put on clothes but are not warm. The one who earns wages earns them to put into a bag with holes. 7 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: Consider carefully your ways. 8 Go up into the mountains, bring down timber, and build the house, so that I may be pleased with it and be glorified, says the LORD. 9 You expected much, but it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew it away. Why?” declares the LORD of Hosts. “Because My house remains in ruins, while each of you is busy with your own house. 10 Therefore, because of you, the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. 11 I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil, and everything the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.
