Lexham English Bible
2 “Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘This people says, “The time has not come to rebuild the temple of Yahweh.’” [a] 3 And the word of Yahweh came through[b] Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your houses that have been paneled while this house[c] is desolate?” 5 And so then, thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Consider your ways![d] 6 You have sown much but have harvested little. You have eaten without being satisfied; you have drunk without being satiated;[e] you have worn clothes without being warm; the one who earns wages puts it in a pouch with holes.’[f]

New Living Translation
2 “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: The people are saying, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.’”
3 Then the Lord sent this message through the prophet Haggai: 4 “Why are you living in luxurious houses while my house lies in ruins? 5 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Look at what’s happening to you! 6 You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes!
