Haggai 1:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Go up into the hill country;
bring timber, and build the house
that I may be pleased with it,
and that I may be glorified,[a] says the Lord.
9 You expected much, but it came to little;
and what you brought home, I blew away.
Why is this?—oracle of the Lord[b] of hosts—
Because my house is the one which lies in ruins,
while each of you runs to your own house.
10 Therefore, the heavens withheld the dew,
and the earth its yield.
