Haggai 1:2-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

² “Thus says the Lord of ^[a]hosts, ‘This people says, “The time has not come, even the time for the house of the Lord to be rebuilt.”’” ³ Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying, ⁴ “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house ^(A)lies desolate?” ⁵ Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, “^[b]Consider your ways! ⁶ You have ^(B)sown much, but ^[c]harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is ^[d]not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes.”
