Chaggai 1:7 Meaning and Commentary

Haggai 1:7

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider your ways.
] What they have been; what has been the consequence of them; and to what the above things are to be ascribed. This exhortation is repeated, to impress it the more upon their minds; and to denote the importance of it, and the necessity of such a conduct; (See Gill on Haggai 1:5).

Chaggai 1:7 In-Context

5 Now therefore thus saith Hashem Tzva’os; Consider your ways.

6 Ye have sown harbeh (much), and bring in me’at (little); ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is no warming; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put them into a purse of holes.

7 Thus saith Hashem Tzva’os: Consider your ways.

8 Go up to the har (mountain), and bring etz, and build HaBeis [HaMikdash]; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Hashem.

9 Ye looked for harbeh (much), and, hinei, it came to me’at (little); and when ye brought it home, I blew it away. Why? saith Hashem Tva’os. Because of Mine Beis [HaMikdash] that is in ruins, and ye run every man for his own bais.
