Haggai 1:2-9 ▼

2 Thus speaks YHWH of Hosts, saying: “This people says, ‘The time has not come, the time for the house of YHWH to be built.’”

3 And the word came of YHWH by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:

4 “Is it time for you? yourselves to dwell in your? paneled houses, and this house is desolate?”

5 And now, thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Set your? heart upon 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.”

7 Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Set your? heart upon 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.

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.
