Haggai 1:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 You expected much, but it came to little;
and what you brought home, I blew away.
Why is this?—oracle of the Lord[a] 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.
11 And I have proclaimed a devastating heat[b]
upon the land and upon the mountains,
Upon the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil,
upon all that the ground brings forth;
Upon human being and beast alike,
and upon all they produce.
