Haggai 1:8 in context

- 7Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
- 8Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah.
- 9Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house.
- 10Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.
