| 3Then the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai: | 3Then the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, | 3Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, | 3Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, | 3The word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet: " |
| 4"Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?" | 4“Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? | 4"Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies desolate?" | 4Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? | 4Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?" |
| 5Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. | 5Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. | 5Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts, "Consider your ways! | 5Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. | 5Now, the LORD of Hosts says this: "Think carefully about your ways: |
| 6You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it." | 6You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes. | 6"You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes." | 6Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. | 6You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough to be satisfied. You drink but never have enough to become drunk. You put on clothes but never have enough to get warm. The wage earner puts his wages into a bag with a hole in it." |

| 9"You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?" declares the LORD Almighty. "Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house. | 9You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away.

Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. | 9You expected much, but then it amounted to little. When you brought the harvest to your house, I ruined it. Why?" This is the declaration of the LORD of Hosts. "Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house. |

| 11I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands." | 11And I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on all their labors.” | 11"I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of your hands." | 11And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands. | 11I have summoned a drought on the fields and the hills, on the grain, new wine, olive oil, and whatever the ground yields, on man and beast, and on all that your hands produce." |
