Haggai 1:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts:
Consider carefully how you have fared.
8 Go up into the hill country,
collect timber, and build the house
so that I may take pleasure in it
and manifest my glory,
says the Lord.
9 You expected much,
but it proved to be little.
When you brought in the harvest,
I blew it away.
And why did I do this?
asks the Lord of hosts.
Because my house lies in ruins,
while each of you is concerned
only about your own house.
