Haggai 1:6
Ye have sown much - God will not bless you in any labor of your hands, unless you rebuild his temple and restore his worship. This verse contains a series of proverbs, no less than five in the compass of a few lines.
4 “Is it atime for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this1 temple to lie in ruins?”
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.”
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.
