Haggai 1:9
Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
KJV
Respexistis ad amplius, et ecce factum est minus ; et intulistis in domum, et exsufflavi illud : quam ob causam ? dicit Dominus exercituum : quia domus mea deserta est, et vos festinatis unusquisque in domum suam.
Vulgate
ἐπεβλέψατε εἰς πολλὰ καὶ ἐγένετο ὀλίγα, καὶ εἰσηνέχθη εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἐξεφύσησα αὐτά. διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Ἀνθ’ ὧν ὁ οἶκός μού ἐστιν ἔρημος, ὑμεῖς δὲ διώκετε ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ,
LXX
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.
