2 Thus speaketh the Lorde of hostes, saying, This people say, The time is not yet come, that the Lords House should be builded. 3 Then came the worde of the Lorde by the ministerie of the Prophet Haggai, saying, 4 Is it time for your selues to dwell in your sieled houses, and this House lie waste? 5 Now therefore thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts. 6 Ye haue sowen much, and bring in litle: ye eate, but ye haue not ynough: ye drinke, but ye are not filled: ye clothe you, but ye be not warme: and he that earneth wages, putteth the wages into a broken bagge. 7 Thus sayth the Lorde of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts. 8 Goe vp to the mountaine, & bring wood, and build this House, and I wil be fauourable in it, and I will be glorified, sayth the Lord. 9 Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to litle: and when ye brought it home, I did blowe vpon it; why, sayth the Lord of hostes? Because of mine House that is waste, and ye runne euery man vnto his owne house. Haggai 1:2-9, Geneva Bible of 1587. Public domain.
