Why? says the Lord of armies. Because of my house which is a waste, while every man takes care of the house which is his. 10 For this cause the heaven over you is kept from giving dew, and the earth from giving her fruit. 11 And by my order no rain came on the land or on the mountains or the grain or the wine or the oil or the produce of the earth or on men or cattle or on any work of man's hands.
