Haggai 1:7-11
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider your own ways in your hearts.
8 Go [a]up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build this House, and [b]I will be favorable in it, and I will [c]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 [d]upon it. And why, saith the Lord of hosts? Because of mine House that is waste, and ye turn every man unto his own house.
10 Therefore the heaven over you stayed itself from dew, and the earth stayed her fruit.
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the wine, and upon the oil, upon all that the ground bringeth forth: both upon men and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.
