Haggai 1:2-6

Common English Bible

² This is what the Lord of heavenly forces says:
    These people say, “The time hasn’t come,
        the time to rebuild the Lord’s house.”

⁴         Is it time for you to dwell in your own paneled houses
            while this house lies in ruins?
⁵ So now, this is what the Lord of heavenly forces says:
    Take your ways to heart.
⁶     You have sown much, but it has brought little.
    You eat, but there’s not enough to satisfy.
    You drink, but not enough to get drunk.
    There is clothing, but not enough to keep warm.
    Anyone earning wages puts those wages into a bag with holes.
