Haggai 1:6-8
Expanded Bible
6 You have planted much, but you harvest little. You eat, but you do not become full. You drink, but you are still thirsty. You put on clothes, but you are not warm enough. You earn ·money [wages], ·but then you lose it all as if you had [L to] put it into a purse full of holes.”
7 This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says: “·Think about what you have done [Consider your ways]. 8 Go up to the mountains, bring back wood, and build the ·Temple [L house]. Then I will be pleased with it and be honored,” says the Lord.

Haggai 1:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)You have sown much, and harvested little. (B)You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who (C)earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.
7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: (D)Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that (E)I may take pleasure in it and that (F)I may be glorified, says the Lord.

6 You have (A)sown much, but bring in little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is [a]not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”
7 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Set your heart to consider your ways! 8 Go up to the [b]mountains and bring wood and (B)rebuild the house of God, that I may be (C)pleased with it and be (D)glorified,” says Yahweh.
