Haggai 1:6-8
King James Version
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the Lord.

Haggai 1:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 You have (A)sown much, only to [a]harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but there is not enough for [b]anyone to get warm; and the one who earns, earns wages to put into a money bag full of holes.”
7 The Lord of armies says this: “[c]Consider your ways! 8 Go up to the [d]mountains, bring wood, and (B)rebuild the [e]temple, that I may be (C)pleased with it and be (D)honored,” says the Lord.
