Haggai 1:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ “You look for much, but you find little. When you bring it home, I destroy it. Why?” asks the Lord All-Powerful. “Because you all work hard for your own houses while my house is still in ruins! ¹⁰ Because of what you have done, the sky holds back its rain and the ground holds back its crops. ¹¹ I have called for a time without rain on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil, the plants which the earth produces, the people, the farm animals, and all the work of your hands.”
