3 Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying;
4 Is it time for you, O yee, to dwell in your sieled houses, and this house lie waste?
5 Nowe therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes; Consider your wayes.5
6 Yee haue sowen much and bring in litle: ye eate, but ye haue not inough: yee drinke, but yee are not filled with drinke: yee cloth you, but there is none warme: and hee that earneth wages, earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.6
7 ¶ Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Consider your wayes.
9 Ye looked for much, and loe it came to litle: and when yee brought it home, I did blow vpon it: Why, saith the Lord of hostes? because of mine house that is waste, and yee runne euery man vnto his owne house.9

15 In the foure and twentieth day of the sixt moneth, in the second yeere of Darius the King.
