Haggai 1:7-11
New King James Version
7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! 8 Go up to the (A)mountains and bring wood and build the [a]temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord. 9 (B)“You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, (C)I blew it away. Why?” says the Lord of hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house. 10 Therefore (D)the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. 11 For I (E)called for a drought on the land and the mountains, on the grain and the new wine and the oil, on whatever the ground brings forth, on men and livestock, and on (F)all the labor of your hands.”

Haggai 1:7-11
21st Century King James Version
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways!
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” saith the Lord.
9 “Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Why?” saith the Lord of hosts. “Because of Mine house that is laid waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.”
