2. Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.
3. And the word of Jehovah came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4. Is it time for you that ye should dwell in your wainscoted houses, while this house lieth waste?
5. And now thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
6. Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but are not satisfied; ye drink, but are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages for a bag with holes.
7. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.
