Haggai 1:7

Read in context

Haggai 1:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 Now this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.

6 You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into a bag pierced through.”

7 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.

8 Go up into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified, says the LORD.

9 You expected much, but behold, it amounted to little. And what you brought home, I blew away. Why? declares the LORD of Hosts. Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.
