Haggai 1:4

Showing verse 4 with surrounding context.

In the second year of Daryavesh the king, on the first day of the sixth month, the following word of ADONAI came through Hagai the prophet to Z'rubavel the son of Sh'alti'el, governor of Y'hudah, and to Y'hoshua the son of Y'hotzadak, the cohen hagadol:

"Here is what ADONAI-Tzva'ot says: 'This people is saying that now isn't the time - the time hasn't yet arrived for ADONAI's house to be rebuilt.'"

Then this word of ADONAI came through Hagai the prophet:

"So is now the time for you to be living in your own paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?

Therefore here is what ADONAI-Tzva'ot says: 'Think about your life!

You sow much but bring in little; you eat but aren't satisfied; you drink but never have enough; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who works for a living earns wages that are put in a bag full of holes.'"
