Haggai 1:6
You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into a bag pierced through.”
Haggai 2:15, 17
Now consider carefully from this day forward: Before one stone was placed on another in the temple of the LORD, / I struck you—all the work of your hands—with blight, mildew, and hail, but you did not turn to Me, declares the LORD.
Zechariah 8:10
For before those days neither man nor beast received wages, nor was there safety from the enemy for anyone who came or went, for I had turned every man against his neighbor.
