What does Haggai 1:4-9 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Considerb your ways.
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.c
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Considerd your ways.
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.
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blowe upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
