9 "4You look for much, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I 5blow it away. Why *?" declares the LORD of hosts, "Because of My house which 6lies desolate, while each of you runs to his own house.
10 "Therefore *, because of you the 7sky has withheld [d]its dew and the earth has withheld its produce.
11 "I called for a 8drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground produces, on 9men, on cattle, and on 10all the labor of [e]your hands."
