Haggai 1:5-9

So the Lord Almighty says this: Think about what you're doing!

You have sown much but harvested little. You eat but you're still hungry. You drink but you're still thirsty. You put on clothes but you're still cold. You work hard to earn money but put it in a bag full of holes.

The Lord Almighty says this: Think about what you're doing!

Go into the hills and bring wood to build the house. This will please me and honor me, says the Lord.

You were hoping for so much, but look, it turned out to be so little. Everything you brought home I blew away. And why was that? Because my house remains a ruin while you are preoccupied with building your own houses, declares the Lord Almighty.
