4. Is it time for you, yourselves, to dwell in your paneled houses, and this house lie in ruins?
5. Now therefore thus says the LORD of hosts;
6. You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he that earns wages earns wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7. Thus says the LORD of hosts;
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, says the LORD.
