Haggai

Haggai 1:2–4

2that this is what the LORD of Hosts says:

“These people say, ‘The time has not yet come

to rebuild the house of the LORD.’”

3Then the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet, saying:

4“Is it a time for you yourselves

to live in your paneled houses,

while this house lies in ruins?”
