Haggai 1:2-6
New American Standard Bible
2 “This is what the Lord of armies [a]says: ‘This people says, “The time has not come, 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 live in your paneled houses while this house remains (A)desolate?” 5 Now then, the Lord of armies says this: “[b]Consider your ways! 6 You have (B)sown much, only to [c]harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but there is not enough for [d]anyone to get warm; and the one who earns, earns wages to put into a money bag full of holes.”

Lexham English Bible
2 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘This people says, “The time has not come to rebuild the temple of Yahweh.’” [a] 3 And the word of Yahweh came through[b] Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your houses that have been paneled while this house[c] is desolate?” 5 And so then, thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Consider your ways![d] 6 You have sown much but have harvested little. You have eaten without being satisfied; you have drunk without being satiated;[e] you have worn clothes without being warm; the one who earns wages puts it in a pouch with holes.’[f]
