"Here then, this is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has said:‘Think carefully about what you are doing."
— Haggai 1:5, NET Bible
“Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.”
“Now therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways. ”
“Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: Consider your ways.”
“And now thus saith the Lord of hosts: Set your hearts to consider your ways.”
“For this cause the Lord of armies has said, Give thought to your ways.”
“Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.”
The Indifference of the People This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has said:“These people have said,‘The time for rebuilding the LORD’s temple has not yet come.’”
The LORD’s message came through the prophet Haggai as follows:
“Is it right for you to live in richly paneled houses while my temple is in ruins?
Here then, this is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has said:‘Think carefully about what you are doing.
You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but are never filled. You drink, but are still thirsty. You put on clothes, but are not warm. Those who earn wages end up with holes in their money bags.’”
The Instruction of the People“Moreover, this is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has said:‘Pay close attention to these things also.
Go up to the hill country and bring back timber to build the temple. Then I will be pleased and honored,’ says the LORD.
