“Is it a time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses,(A) while this house[a] lies in ruins?” Now, the Lord of Hosts says this: “Think carefully(B) about[b] your ways:

You eat
but never have enough to be satisfied.
You drink
but never have enough to become drunk.
You put on clothes
but never have enough to get warm.
The wage earner puts his wages
into a bag with a hole in it.”(C)
