Haggai 1:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ This is what the Lord of Armies says. Consider your ways carefully. ⁸ Go up to the mountains, bring lumber down, and build the House. I will be pleased with it, and I will be glorified, says the Lord.

⁹ You expected much, but look, there was little. When you brought it home, I blew it away.

Why did I do that? This is a declaration of the Lord of Armies. It is because my house lies in ruins while each of you is busy with your own house.
