Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Set your heart to consider your ways! Go up to the [a]mountains and bring wood and (A)rebuild the house of God, that I may be (B)pleased with it and be (C)glorified,” says Yahweh. (D)You look for much, but behold, it comes to little; and you bring it home, and I (E)blow it away. Why?” declares Yahweh of hosts, “Because of My house which (F)lies waste, while each of you runs to his own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the (G)sky has restrained [b]its dew and the earth has restrained its produce. 11 And I called for a [c](H)drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on (I)men, on cattle, and on (J)all the labor of [d]your hands.”

The Lord of Armies says this: “Think carefully about your ways. Go up into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house; and I will be pleased with it and be glorified,” says the Lord. “You expected much, but then it amounted to little. When you brought the harvest to your house, I ruined[a] it. Why?” This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies. “Because my house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.

10 So on your account,[b]
the skies have withheld the dew
and the land its crops.(A)
11 I have summoned a drought
on the fields and the hills,
on the grain, new wine, fresh oil,
and whatever the ground yields,
on people and animals,
and on all that your hands produce.”
