2 “Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, saying: ‘This people says, “The time has not come, the time that the Lord’s house should be built.” ’ ”
3 Then the word of the Lord acame by Haggai the prophet, saying,  
4 “Is it atime for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this1 temple to lie in ruins?”  
5 Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: a“Consider your ways! 
6 “You have asown much, and bring in little;
You eat, but do not have enough;
You drink, but you are not filled with drink;
You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm;
And bhe who earns wages,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”  
7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways!
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.”

13 Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, spoke the Lord’s message to the people, saying, a“I am with you, says the Lord.”
