⁶ Ye sow much, but ye bring little in; Ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled; ye deck yourselves, but ye are not warm; and he that earneth any wage, putteth it in a broken purse. ⁷ Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: Consider your own ways in your hearts, ⁸ get you up to the mountain, fetch wood, and build up the house: that it may be acceptable unto me, and that I may show mine honour, sayeth the LORD. ⁹ Ye looked for much, and lo it is come to little: and though ye bring it home, yet do I blow it away. And why so, sayeth the LORD of Hosts? Even because that my house lieth so waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. ¹⁰ Wherefore the heaven is forbidden to give you any dew, and the earth is forbidden to give you increase. ¹¹ I have called for a drought, both upon the land and upon the mountains, upon corn, upon wine, and upon oil, upon everything that the ground bringeth forth, upon men and upon cattle, yea and upon all handy labour."

¹⁷ For I smote you with heat, blasting and hailstones in all the labors of your hands: yet was there none of you, that would turn unto me, sayeth the LORD. ¹⁸ Consider then from this day forth and afore, namely, from the twenty fourth day of the ninth month, unto the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid: Mark it well, ¹⁹ is not the seed yet in the barn? Have not the vines, the fig trees, the pomegranates and the olive trees been yet unfruitful? But from this day forth, I shall make them to prosper."

¹¹ Nevertheless I will now entreat the residue of this people no more as afore time, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, ¹² but they shall be a seed of peace.

²⁶ And he said, "So is the kingdom of God, even as if a man should sow seed in the ground, ²⁷ and should sleep and rise up night and day: and the seed should spring, and grow up while he is not aware. ²⁸ For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself, first the blade, then the ears, after that full corn in the ears. ²⁹ And as soon as the fruit is brought forth, anon he thrusteth in the sickle because that harvest is come."

³⁶ And he that reapeth, receiveth reward; and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: That both he that soweth and he that reapeth might rejoice together. ³⁷ And herein is the saying true, That one soweth; And another reapeth. ³⁸ I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor. Other men laboured; And ye are entered into their labors."
