Haggai 1:7-11
Legacy Standard Bible
7 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Set your heart to consider your ways! 8 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. 9 “(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.”

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.”
