Haggai 1:5–11

⁵Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; ⁱConsider your ways.

^6jYe have sown much, and ^kbring in little;

^lYe eat, but ye have not ^menough;

Ye ⁿdrink, but ye are not ^ofilled with drink;

Ye clothe you, but there is none warm;

And ^phe that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.

⁷Thus saith the Lord of hosts; ⁱConsider your ways.

⁸Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house;

And I will take pleasure in it, and ^qI will be glorified, saith the Lord.

^9jYe looked for much, and lo, it came to little;

And when ye brought it home, ^rI did ^sblow upon it.

Why? saith the Lord of hosts.

Because of mine house that is ^twaste,

And ye run every man unto his own house.

¹⁰Therefore ^uthe heaven over you ^vis stayed from ^vvdew,

And the earth ^vis stayed from her ^vvfruit.

¹¹And ^wI called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains,

And upon the ^xcorn, and upon ^xthe new wine, and upon ^xthe oil,

And upon that which the ground bringeth forth,

And upon men, and upon cattle, and upon ^yall the labour of the hands.
