Haggai 1:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁹ You have looked for much, but it came to little, and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? says the Lord of hosts. Because my house lies in ruins, while all of you hurry off to your own houses.^{(A) 10} Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce.^{(B) 11} And I have called for a drought^[a] on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the soil produces, on humans and animals, and on all their labors.”^(C)
