* "
Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses ,
and this temple to lie in ruins ?"
*
Now therefore ,
thus says the LORD of hosts : "
Consider your ways !
* "
You have sown much ,
and bring in little ;
You eat ,
but do not have enough ;
You drink ,
but you are not filled with drink ;
You clothe yourselves ,
but no one is warm ;
And he who earns wages ,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes ."
*
Thus says the LORD of hosts : "
Consider your ways !
*
Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple ,
that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified ,"
says the LORD .
* "
You looked for much ,
but indeed it came to little ;
and when you brought it home ,
I blew it away .
Why ?"
says the LORD of hosts . "
Because of My house that is in ruins ,
while every one of you runs to his own house .
*
Therefore the heavens above you withhold the dew ,
and the earth withholds its fruit .
*
For I called for a drought on the land and the mountains ,
on the grain and the new wine and the oil ,
on whatever the ground brings forth ,
on men and livestock ,
and on all the labor of your hands ."
