Haggai 1:10
Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew - It appears from the following verse that God had sent a drought upon the land, which threatened them with scarcity and famine.
8 Go up to the amountains and bring wood and build the1 temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord.
9 a“You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, bI 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 athe heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
11 For I acalled 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 ball the labor of your hands.”
The People’s Obedience
12 aThen Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God had sent him; and the people feared the presence of the Lord.
13 Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, spoke the Lord’s message to the people, saying, a“I am with you, says the Lord.”
