2 Thus speaketh the Lorde of hoastes, saying: This people sayth, The time is not yet come for the Lordes house to be buylded.

3 Then came the worde of the Lorde by the ministerie of the prophete Aggeus, saying:

4 Is it time for you your selues to dwel in seeled houses, and this house lie wast?

5 Nowe thus sayth the Lord of hoastes, Consider your owne wayes in your heartes.

6 Ye haue sowen much, but ye bryng litle in: ye eate, but ye haue not inough: ye drinke, but ye are not filled: ye cloth you, but ye be not warme: and he that earneth wages, putteth the wages into a broken bagge.

7 Thus sayth the Lorde of hoastes, Consider your owne wayes in your heartes.

8 Get you vp to the mountayne, and fetche wood, and buyld this house, & I wil take pleasure in it, and I wilbe glorified, sayth the Lorde.

9 Ye loked for much, and lo it came to litle, and when ye brought it home, I dyd blowe vpon it: and why, sayth the Lord of hoastes? because of my house that is waste, and you run euery man into his his owne house.
