Haggai 1:7-11
World English Bible
7 This is what Yahweh of Armies says: “Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says Yahweh. 9 “You looked for much, and, behold,[a] it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house. 10 Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. 11 I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground produces, on men, on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands.”

New American Standard Bible
7 The Lord of armies says this: “[a]Consider your ways! 8 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)honored,” says the Lord. 9 “(D)You [d]start an ambitious project, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I (E)blow it away. Why?” declares the Lord of armies. “It is because of My house which (F)remains desolate, while each of you runs to his own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the (G)sky has withheld [e]its dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. 11 And I called for a (H)drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on (I)mankind, on cattle, and on (J)all the products of the labor of [f]your hands.”
