Haggai 1:9–11

⁹You expected much,

but behold, it amounted to little.

And what you brought home, I blew away.

Why? declares the LORD of Hosts.

Because My house still lies in ruins,

while each of you is busy

with his own house.

¹⁰Therefore, on account of you

the heavens have withheld their dew

and the earth has withheld its crops.

¹¹I have summoned a drought

on the fields and on the mountains,

on the grain, new wine, and oil,

and on whatever the ground yields,

on man and beast,

and on all the labor of your hands.”
