3 Then came the word of the Lord by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 Do you have time, all of you, to dwell in your panelled houses, and this house is deserted?
5 Now therefore thus hath the Lord of the hosts said; Consider your ways.
6 Ye have sown much and bring in little; ye eat, but ye are not filled; ye drink, but ye are not satisfied; ye clothe yourselves, but you are not warm; and he that is a hireling receives his wages in a bag with holes.
7 Thus hath the Lord of the hosts said, Consider your ways.
8 Go up to the mountain and bring wood and build the house; and I will place my will in her, and I will be glorified, said the Lord.
9 Ye look for much and find little; and when ye lock it up at home, I shall blow upon it. Why? said the Lord of the hosts. Because my house is deserted, and ye run each one of you unto his own house.
