Haggai 1:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored, says the Lord. ⁹ You have looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? says the Lord of hosts. Because my house lies in ruins, while all of you hurry off to your own houses. ¹⁰ Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce.
