Haggai
Haggai links their losses to neglect of the LORD’s house: they looked for much but got little, and what they brought home “I blew away” Haggai 1:9. He says the heavens withheld dew and the earth its produce, and the LORD called for a drought because “my house lies in ruins” Haggai 1:10–11.
9"You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says Yahweh of Hosts, "Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.
10Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
11I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground brings forth, on men, on cattle, and on all the labor of the hands."
