Haggai 1:7-11

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁷ Thus hath the LORD of the hosts said, Consider your ways.

⁸ Go up to the mountain and bring wood and build the house; and I will place my will in her, and I will be glorified, said the LORD.

⁹ Ye look for much and find little; and when ye lock it up at home, I shall blow upon it. Why? said the LORD of the hosts. Because my house is deserted, and ye run each one of you unto his own house.

¹⁰ Therefore the rain of the heavens over you is held back, and the earth has held back her fruits.

¹¹ And I called for a drought upon this land and upon the mountains and upon the wheat and upon the wine and upon the oil and upon that which the earth brings forth and upon the men, and upon the beasts and upon every labour of hands.
