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.”

Thus says the Lord of hosts, “[a]Consider your ways! 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)glorified,” says the Lord.
