Haggai 1:7-11

Amplified Bible

⁷ Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Consider your ways and thoughtfully reflect on your conduct! ⁸ Go up to the hill country, bring lumber and rebuild My house (temple), that I may be pleased with it and be glorified,” says the Lord [accepting it as done for My glory]. ⁹ You look for much [harvest], but it comes to little; and even when you bring that home, I blow it away. Why?” says the Lord of hosts. “Because of My house, which lies in ruins while each of you runs to his own house [eager to enjoy it]. ¹⁰ Therefore, because of you [that is, your sin and disobedience] the heavens withhold the dew and the earth withholds its produce. ¹¹ I called for a drought on the land and the hill country, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of your hands.”
