Haggai 1:4 CPDV

²  Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: This people claims that the time has not yet arrived for building the house of the Lord.

³  But the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:

⁴  Is it time for you to dwell in paneled houses, while this house is deserted?

⁵  And now, thus says the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts upon your ways.

⁶  You sowed much and have brought in little. You consumed and have not been satisfied. You drank and have not been inebriated. You covered yourselves and have not been warmed. And whoever gathered wages, has put them in a bag with holes.
