Haggai 1:2-6
English Standard Version
2 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.” 3 Then the word of the Lord came (A)by the hand of Haggai the prophet, 4 (B)“Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while (C)this house lies in ruins? 5 Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: (D)Consider your ways. 6 (E)You have sown much, and harvested little. (F)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 (G)earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

Haggai 1:2-6
International Standard Version
2 “This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: ‘These people keep saying, “No, the right[a] time for rebuilding the Lord’s Temple has not yet come.”’”
3 Then this message from the Lord came by[b] Haggai the prophet: 4 “Is it the right[c] time for all of you to live in your own paneled houses while this house remains in ruins?”
Consequences of Not Rebuilding
5 “Now this is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, says: ‘Carefully consider your ways:
6 You have sowed much
but have reaped little.
You have eaten
but don’t have enough to become satisfied.
You have drunk
but don’t have enough to become intoxicated.
You have clothed yourself
but don’t have enough to keep warm.
And the hired laborer deposits his salary
in a bag full of holes!’”
