*
Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house ,
that I may take pleasure in it and that I may appear in my glory ,
says the LORD .
*
You have looked for much ,
and ,
lo ,
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 lies in ruins ,
while you busy yourselves each with his own house .
*
Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew ,
and the earth has withheld its produce .
*
And I have called for a drought upon the land and the hills ,
upon the grain ,
the new wine ,
the oil ,
upon what the ground brings forth ,
upon men and cattle ,
and upon all their labors ."
