Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house.
Ye bihelden to more, and lo! it is maad lesse; and ye brouyten in to þe hous, and Y blew it out. For what cause, seith þe Lord of oostis? for myn hous is desert, and ye hasten ech man in to his hous.
