Haggai 1:6

6 ^aYou have sown much, and harvested little. ^bYou 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 ^cearns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

Haggai 1:9-11

9 ^dYou looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, ^eI blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house ^fthat lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. 10 Therefore ^gthe heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 And ^hI have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on ⁱthe grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and ^jon all their labors.”
