Isaiah 3:18-26
At that time the Lord will take away the beautiful things they wear. He will take away their decorations, headbands and moon- shaped necklaces.He’ll take away their earrings, bracelets and veils.He’ll remove their headdresses, anklets and belts. He’ll take away their perfume bottles and charms.He’ll remove the rings they wear on their fingers and in their noses.He’ll take away their fine robes and their capes and coats. He’ll take away their pursesand mirrors. And he’ll take away their linen clothes, turbans and shawls.Instead of smelling sweet, the women will smell bad. Instead of wearing belts, they will wear ropes. Instead of having beautiful hair, they won’t have any hair at all. Instead of wearing fine clothes, they’ll wear rough clothes to show how sad they are. Instead of being beautiful, on their bodies they’ll have the marks of their owners.Jerusalem, your men will be killed by swords. Your soldiers will die in battle.The city of Zion will be very sad. Like a widow, she will lose everything. She will sit on the ground and mourn.

Haggai 1:6-11
You have planted many seeds. But the crops you have gathered are small. So you eat. But you never have enough. You drink. But you are never full. You put on your clothes. But you are not warm. You earn your pay. But it will not buy everything you need.”He continues,“ Think carefully about how you are living.Go up into the mountains. Bring logs down. Use them to rebuild the temple, my house. Then I will enjoy it. And you will honor me,” says the Lord.“ You expected a lot. But you can see what a small amount it turned out to be. I blew away what you brought home. I’ll tell you why,” announces the Lord who rules over all.“ Because my temple is still destroyed. In spite of that, each one of you is busy with your own house.So because of what you have done, the heavens have held back the dew. And the earth has not produced its crops.I ordered the rain not to fall on the fields and mountains. Then the ground did not produce any grain. There were not enough grapes to make fresh wine. The trees did not bear enough olives to make oil. People and cattle suffered. All your hard work failed.”
