Bishops(i) 2 Thus speaketh the Lorde of hoastes, saying: This people sayth, The time is not yet come for the Lordes house to be buylded 3 Then came the worde of the Lorde by the ministerie of the prophete Aggeus, saying 4 Is it time for you your selues to dwel in seeled houses, and this house lie wast 5 Nowe thus sayth the Lord of hoastes, Consider your owne wayes in your heartes 6 Ye haue sowen much, but ye bryng litle in: ye eate, but ye haue not inough: ye drinke, but ye are not filled: ye cloth you, but ye be not warme: and he that earneth wages, putteth the wages into a broken bagge 7 Thus sayth the Lorde of hoastes, Consider your owne wayes in your heartes 8 Get you vp to the mountayne, and fetche wood, and buyld this house, & I wil take pleasure in it, and I wilbe glorified, sayth the Lorde 9 Ye loked for much, and lo it came to litle, and when ye brought it home, I dyd blowe vpon it: and why, sayth the Lord of hoastes? because of my house that is waste, and you run euery man into his his owne house 10 Therfore vpon you the heauen is stayed from deawe, & the earth is stayed from yeelding her increase 11 And I haue called for a drought vpon the land, and vpon the mountaynes, and vpon the corne, & vpon the wine, and vpon the oyle, and vpon al that the ground bringeth foorth, vpon men, & vpon cattel, and vpon all the labour of the handes
