| 6 "You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes." | 6 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. | 6 You planted a lot, but you harvested little. You eat, but you're never full. You drink, but you're still thirsty.?wine[ to drink but not enough to become drunk."> You wear clothing, but you never have enough to keep you warm. You spend money as fast as you earn it.] | 6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don't have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it." | 6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but are not satisfied; ye drink, but are not filled with drink; ye clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages for a bag with holes. | 7 Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Consider your ways! | 7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. | 7 This is what the LORD of Armies says: Carefully consider your ways! | 7 This is what Yahweh of Armies says: "Consider your ways. | 7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways. | 8 "Go up to the mountains, bring wood and rebuild the temple, that I may be pleased with it and be glorified," says the LORD. | 8 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. | 8 "Go to the mountains, get lumber, and build the house.

Why?" says Yahweh of Armies, "Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house. | 9 Ye looked for much, and behold it was little; and when ye brought it home, I blew upon it. Wherefore? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, whilst ye run every man to his own house. | 10 "Therefore, because of you the sky has withheld its dew and the earth has withheld its produce. | 10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit. | 10 It is because of you that the sky has withheld its dew and the earth has withheld its produce. | 10 Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit. | 10 Therefore over you the heavens withhold their dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
