2 Thus said Jehovah of armies, saying, This people said the time was not come, the time of the house of Jehovah to be built. 3 And the word of Jehovah will be by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 Is the time for you, O ye, to dwell in your covered houses, and this house a waste? 5 And now, thus said Jehovah of armies: Set your hearts upon your ways. 6 Ye sowed much and brought in little; eating and not being satisfied; ye drank, and not drinking to the full; putting on clothing, and not being warm to him; and he hiring out, hires out for a purse perforated. 7 Thus said Jehovah of armies: Set your hearts upon your ways. 8 Go up to the mountain and bring wood, and build the house, and I will delight in it, and I shall be honored, said Jehovah. 9 Looking for much, and behold, to little; and ye brought to the house and I blew upon it For what? says Jehovah of armies. Because of mine house that it was laid waste, and ye run each to his house. Haggai 1:2-9, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
