Therefore consider your ways Reflect seriously upon this affair, whether it is consistent with the reason of things, or whether you have even promoted your own happiness by it as you thought to do. Ye have sown much, and bring in little Namely, into your barns. Ye eat, but ye have not enough To satisfy your hunger; ye drink, but ye are not filled Ye have not wine enough for your support. Ye clothe you, but there is none warm Ye have not been able to get sufficient clothing to keep yourselves warm. And he that earneth wages, &c. And whatever you gain by your labour, it is very quickly required for your necessary expenses, every thing being at a very dear rate. This has been the case with you, and this has arisen from your neglect of rebuilding God's temple; for as you have neglected him, so hath he withdrawn his blessing from you; the consequence of which has been, that nothing has prospered with you.
