They had begun before under king Cyrus, and because, the matter was then dash, and their enemies prevailed against them, they were utterly discouraged and cast into despair. Wherefore god spake to them by the Prophet Haggai, Is it time for your selves to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lye wast? Have you found le assure to set up & furnish your own house, & can you neglect the restoring of my house? My house (I say) in which my Law hath been read and preached to you, where your Fathers have made me sacrifices, towards which house you turned your faces, whensoever you prayed unto me in Babylon, and were heard? Therefore saith the Lord. Ye have sown much ⟨image 37⟩& bring in little: ye eat, but yet have not enough: ye looked for much, & lo, it came to little: and when you brought it home, I did blow it out. You set your joy upon vain things, and the same shall deceive you.
