Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, - Apply your heart to your own experience:

Ascend the mountain - and bring in wood and build the house, - that I may be pleased therewith and get myself glory, saith Yahweh.

When ye looked for much, then lo! it came to little, when ye brought it home, then I did blow into it, - Because of what? Demandeth Yahweh of hosts, Because of my house, the which is in ruins, while ye keep running every man to his own house.

Wherefore - on your account, have the heavens, held back, dew, - and, the earth, held back her fruit;

And I have called for drought, upon the land and upon the mountains, and upon the corn and upon the new wine and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground, bringeth forth, - and upon man, and upon beast, and upon all the labour of the hands.
