Haggai 1:3-6

New International Version

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

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