5 Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: (A)Consider your ways. 6 (B)You have sown much, and harvested little. (C)You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who (D)earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.
7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (E)Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that (F)I may take pleasure in it and that (G)I may be glorified, says the Lord. 9 (H)You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, (I)I blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house (J)that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.

to the work of our hands.
(H)In you the orphan finds mercy.”
