‏ Haggai 1:9-11

v. 9: God says that although they expected much, it turned out to be little. When they brought their crops home, God blew it away. This happened because His house was in ruins while everyone was busy with their own houses.

v. 10: Because the people neglected God’s house, He kept the sky from giving dew and the earth from producing crops. Their actions affected the whole community and brought hardship to all.

v. 11: God called for a drought on the land, the mountains, the grain, the wine, the oil, and everything the ground produced. Even the people and animals suffered. This was all because the people had not honored God by rebuilding His house.
