Haggai 1:4-14

4 "Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceilinged houses, and this house lie waste?"
5 Now therefore, thus saith the LORD of hosts: "Consider your ways!
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages, earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes."
7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: "Consider your ways!
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified," saith the LORD.
9 "Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Why?" saith the LORD of hosts. "Because of Mine house that is laid waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
11 And I called for a 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 men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands."
12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him; and the people feared before the LORD.
13 Then spoke Haggai, the LORD'S messenger, in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, "I am with you, saith the LORD."
14 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and began work on the house of the LORD of hosts their God,
