Haggai 1:2-8

MLV(i) 2 Thus speaks Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, It is not the time for us to come, the time for Jehovah's house to be built.
3 Then the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 Is it a time for you* yourselves to dwell in your* paneled houses while this house lies waste?
5 Now therefore Jehovah of hosts says thus: Consider your* ways. 6 You* have sown much and bring in little. You* eat, but you* have not enough. You* drink, but you* are not filled with drink. You* clothe yourselves, but there is none warm. And he who earns wages earns wages to put into a bag with holes.
7 Jehovah of hosts says thus: Consider your* ways. 8 Go up to the mountain and bring wood and build the house. And I will take pleasure in it and I will be glorified, says Jehovah.
