3 Then came the Devar Hashem by Chaggai HaNavi, saying,
4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your paneled batim, and this Beis [HaMikdash] lie in ruins?
5 Now therefore thus saith Hashem Tzva'os; Consider your ways.
6 Ye have sown harbeh (much), and bring in me'at (little); ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is no warming; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put them into a purse of holes.
7 Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os: Consider your ways.
8 Go up to the har (mountain), and bring etz, and build HaBeis [HaMikdash]; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Hashem.
9 Ye looked for harbeh (much), and, hinei, it came to me'at (little); and when ye brought it home, I blew it away. Why? saith Hashem Tva'os. Because of Mine Beis [HaMikdash] that is in ruins, and ye run every man for his own bais.
