5 And now, thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Set your⁺ heart upon your⁺ ways. Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. Now this is what the LORD Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.
6 You⁺ have sown much, and you have brought in little; you eat, and not to satisfaction; you drink, and not to drunkenness; One wears clothes, and there is no warmth to it; and the wage earner earns wages into a bag pierced through.” You 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. You 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.”
7 Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Set your⁺ heart upon your⁺ ways. “Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.
8 Go up to the mountains, and bring wood, and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified, says YHWH.

Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the LORD.
9 You turned for much, and behold, little; and you⁺ brought it home, and I blew it away. Because of what? An utterance of YHWH of Hosts, because of My house, the way that it is in ruins, while you⁺ are running, each man to his house. You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house. “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.
10 Upon thus, the heavens above you⁺ withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops.
11 And I have called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain and on the new wine and on the oil, and on whatever the ground brings forth, and on mankind and on the livestock, and on all the labor of the hands.” And 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.” I 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.”
