Haggai 1:9 in Context — Haggai 1
7 Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos: Considerai vossos caminhos.
8 Subi vós à montanha, trazei madeira, e reconstruí a casa; e dela me agradarei, e serei glorificado,diz o SENHOR.
9 Esperastes por muito, e alcançastes pouco; e quando o trouxestes para casa, eu soprei nisso. Por que isto?,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos. Porque minha casa está deserta, e cada um de vós corre para sua própria casa.
10 Por isso que os céus detêm o orvalho de vós, e a terra detém seus frutos.
11 E chamei a seca sobre a terra, sobre os montes, sobre o trigo, sobre o suco de uva, sobre o azeite, e sobre tudo o que a terra produz, e sobre os homens sobre e os animais, e sobre todo trabalho manual.
