Haggai 1:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Go [a]up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build this House, and [b]I will be favorable in it, and I will [c]be glorified, saith the Lord.
9 Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to little: and when ye brought it home, I did blow [d]upon it. And why, saith the Lord of hosts? Because of mine House that is waste, and ye turn every man unto his own house.
10 Therefore the heaven over you stayed itself from dew, and the earth stayed her fruit.

Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin,(F) while each of you is busy with your own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld(G) their dew(H) and the earth its crops.(I)
