Haggai 1:2-6
English Standard Version
2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.” 3 Then the word of the Lord came (A)by the hand of Haggai the prophet, 4 (B)“Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while (C)this house lies in ruins? 5 Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: (D)Consider your ways. 6 (E)You have sown much, and harvested little. (F)You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who (G)earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

Haggai 1:2-6
Christian Standard Bible
2 “The Lord of Armies says this: These people say: The time has not come for the house of the Lord to be rebuilt.”(A)
3 The word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses,(B) while this house[a] lies in ruins?” 5 Now, the Lord of Armies says this: “Think carefully(C) about[b] your ways:
6 You have planted much
but harvested little.
You eat
but never have enough to be satisfied.
You drink
but never have enough to be happy.
You put on clothes
but never have enough to get warm.
The wage earner puts his wages
into a bag with a hole in it.”(D)
