Demandeth Yahweh of hosts, Because of my house, the which is in ruins, while ye keep running every man to his own house. ¹⁰ Wherefore - on your account, have the heavens, held back, dew, - and, the earth, held back her fruit;

And the word of the Lord came - ^o “Before, he prophesied nothing, but only recited the saying of the people; now he refutes it in his prophecy, and repeats, again and again, that he says this not of himself, but from the mind and mouth of God.” It is characteristic of Haggai to inculcate thus frequently, that his words are not his own, but the words of God.
