Haggai 1:9-11

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