Haggai 1:9 in Context — Haggai 1
7 Ainsi parle l’Éternel des armées: Considérez attentivement vos voies!
8 Montez sur la montagne, apportez du bois, Et bâtissez la maison: J’en aurai de la joie, et je serai glorifié, Dit l’Éternel.
9 Vous comptiez sur beaucoup, et voici, vous avez eu peu; Vous l’avez rentré chez vous, mais j’ai soufflé dessus. Pourquoi? Dit l’Éternel des armées. A cause de ma maison, qui est détruite, Tandis que vous vous empressez chacun pour sa maison.
10 C’est pourquoi les cieux vous ont refusé la rosée, Et la terre a refusé ses produits.
11 J’ai appelé la sécheresse sur le pays, sur les montagnes, Sur le blé, sur le moût, sur l’huile, Sur ce que la terre peut rapporter, Sur les hommes et sur les bêtes, Et sur tout le travail des mains.
