Haggai 1:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Now therefore; or, And now, or, But now, Heb.; it is time for you to consider, to set your heart to that I propose. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; the great God speaks, hearken therefore. Consider your ways; ponder well the course you have taken and the success of it, what you have designed, how you have succeeded, what care, and what disappointment, what labour, and how fruitless your labour hath been; consider how you have carried it toward God, and how God hath carried it toward you.
