⁷ This is what the Lord of heavenly forces says:
    Take your ways to heart.
⁸     Go up to the highlands and bring back wood.
    Rebuild the temple so that I may enjoy it
        and that I may be honored, says the Lord.
⁹ You expect a surplus, but look how it shrinks.
You bring it home, and I blow it away, says the Lord of heavenly forces,
        because my house lies in ruins.
But all of you hurry to your own houses.
¹⁰ Therefore, the skies above you have withheld the dew,
        and the earth has withheld its produce because of you.
¹¹ I have called for drought on the earth,
        on the mountains, on the grain,
        on the wine, on the olive oil,
        on that which comes forth from the fertile ground,
        on humanity, on beasts,
        and upon everything that handles produce.
