1:7 “Moreover, the Lord who rules over all says: ‘Pay close attention to these things also. 2 1:8 Go up to the hill country and bring back timber to build 3 the temple. 4 Then I will be pleased and honored,’ 5 says the Lord. 1:9 ‘You expected a large harvest, but instead 6 there was little, and when you brought it home it disappeared right away. 7 Why?’ asks the Lord who rules over all. ‘Because my temple remains in ruins, thanks to each of you favoring his own house! 8 1:10 This is why the sky 9 has held back its dew and the earth its produce. 10 1:11 Moreover, I have called for a drought that will affect the fields, the hill country, the grain, new wine, fresh olive oil, and everything that grows from the ground; it also will harm people, animals, and everything they produce.’” 11
