Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, - This people, have said, Not yet hath come the time for the house of Yahweh to be built.

Therefore hath come the word of Yahweh by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:

Is it a time that, ye yourselves, should be dwelling in your own paneled houses? and, this house, be in ruins?

Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, - Apply your heart unto your own experience -

Ye have sown much, but have brought in little, have eaten, and not been filled, have drunk, and not been satisfied with drink, have clothed you, and none hath been warm, - and, he that hath hired himself out, hath put his wages into a bag with holes.
