never have your fill. You put on clothes, but
are not warm. You earn wages, only to put
them in a purse with holes in it.”7 This is what
the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful
thought to your ways. 8 Go up into the
mountains and bring down woods build my
house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be
honored, ” says the Lord. 9 “You expected
much, but see, it turned out to be little. What
you brought home, I blew away. Why?”
declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my
house, which remains a ruin, while each of you
is busy with your own house.
