Haggai 1:8-10
King James Version
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, saith the Lord.
9 Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.

And when you brought it home, (D)I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house (E)that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. 10 Therefore (F)the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce.
