Haggai 1:6-8

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁶You have planted much
but harvested little.
You eat
but never have enough to be satisfied.
You drink
but never have enough to be happy.
You put on clothes
but never have enough to get warm.
The wage earner puts his wages
into a bag with a hole in it.’^(A)

⁷The Lord of Armies says this: ‘Think carefully about your ways. ⁸Go up into the hills, bring down timber, and build the house; and I will be pleased with it and be glorified,’ says the Lord.
