Conferenza Episcopale Italiana

⁸Salite sul monte, portate legname, ricostruite la mia casa. In essa mi compiacerò e manifesterò la mia gloria - dice il Signore -. ⁹Facevate assegnamento sul molto e venne il poco: ciò che portavate in casa io lo disperdevo. E perché? - dice il Signore degli eserciti -. Perché la mia casa è in rovina, mentre ognuno di voi si dà premura per la propria casa. ¹⁰Perciò su di voi i cieli hanno chiuso la rugiada e anche la terra ha diminuito il suo prodotto.

King James Version

⁸Go 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.

⁹Ye 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.

¹⁰Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
