Haggai 1:8-11

English Standard Version

⁸ Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that ^(A)I may take pleasure in it and that ^(B)I may be glorified, says the Lord. ^9 (C)You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. 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. ¹¹ And ^(G)I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on ^(H)the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and ^(I)on all their labors.”
