Haggai 1:6-11

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.

7Thus says the Lord of hosts: dConsider your ways. 8Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that eI may take pleasure in it and that fI may be glorified, says the Lord. 9 gYou looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, hI blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house ithat lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. 10Therefore jthe heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11And kI have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on lthe grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and mon all their labors.”
