Haggai 1:6-11

⁶You have sown much, only to harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but there is not enough for anyone to get warm; and the one who earns, earns wages to put into a money bag full of holes.”

⁷The Lord of armies says this: “Consider your ways! ⁸Go up to the mountains, bring wood, and rebuild the temple, that I may be pleased with it and be honored,” says the Lord. ⁹“You start an ambitious project, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?” declares the Lord of armies. “It is because of My house which remains desolate, while each of you runs to his own house. ¹⁰Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld its dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. ¹¹And I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on mankind, on cattle, and on all the products of the labor of your hands.”
