Haggai 1:7-11
English Standard Version
7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (A)Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that (B)I may take pleasure in it and that (C)I may be glorified, says the Lord. 9 (D)You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, (E)I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house (F)that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. 10 Therefore (G)the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 And (H)I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on (I)the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and (J)on all their labors.”

Haggai 1:7-11
New American Standard Bible
7 The Lord of armies says this: “[a]Consider your ways! 8 Go up to the [b]mountains, bring wood, and (A)rebuild the [c]temple, that I may be (B)pleased with it and be (C)honored,” says the Lord. 9 “(D)You [d]start an ambitious project, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I (E)blow it away. Why?” declares the Lord of armies. “It is because of My house which (F)remains desolate, while each of you runs to his own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the (G)sky has withheld [e]its dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 And I called for a (H)drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on (I)mankind, on cattle, and on (J)all the products of the labor of [f]your hands.”
