Haggai 1:7-9

New Catholic Bible

    Consider carefully how you have fared.
⁸ Go up into the hill country,
    collect timber, and build the house
so that I may take pleasure in it
    and manifest my glory,
    says the Lord.
⁹ You expected much,
    but it proved to be little.
When you brought in the harvest,
    I blew it away.
And why did I do this?
    asks the Lord of hosts.
Because my house lies in ruins,
    while each of you is concerned
    only about your own house.
