Haggai 1:2-8 Thus speaks Yahweh of hosts, saying:This people says, The season has not come, the season to build Yahweh's house."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Thus speaks Yahweh of hosts, saying:This people says, The season has not come, the season to build Yahweh's house." ³ And the word of Yahweh is coming by the hand of Haggai, the prophet, saying:" ⁴ Is it the season for you yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses while this house is deserted? ⁵ And now, thus says Yahweh of hosts:Set your heart on your ways." ⁶ You have sown for increase, yet it brings in little. You eat, yet without satisfaction; drink, yet without gratification; are clothed, yet without warmth to it. And the hireling's hire goes into a pierced pouch." ⁷ Thus says Yahweh of hosts:Set your heart on your ways. ⁸ Ascend the mountain, and bring wood and build the house, and I will accept it and be glorified, says Yahweh."
