Haggai 1:2-6

New International Version

² This is what the Lord Almighty^(A) says: “These people^(B) say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.^(C)’”

³ Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai:^{(D) 4} “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses,^(E) while this house remains a ruin?^(F)”

⁵ Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought^(G) to your ways. ⁶ You have planted much, but harvested little.^(H) You eat, but never have enough.^(I) You drink, but never have your fill.^(J) You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages,^(K) only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”
