So speaks Jehovah of Hosts, saying, This people says, The time has not come, the time for the house of Jehovah to be built.

And the Word of Jehovah was by Haggai the prophet, saying,

Is it time for you yourselves to live in your covered houses, and this house to lie waste?

And now, so says Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart on your ways!

You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but are not satisfied; you drink, but not to be filled; you dress, but there is no warmth to one. Yea, one hiring out himself hires out himself for a bag of holes.
