⁴ And the city `is' broad on both sides, and great, and the people `are' few in its midst, and there are no houses builded;

¹² And they have built out of thee the wastes of old, The foundations of many generations thou raisest up, And one calleth thee, `Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.'

⁴ Is it time for you -- you! To dwell in your covered houses, And this house to lie waste?

⁵ And now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Set your heart to your ways.

⁶ Ye have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none hath heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself for a bag pierced through.

³³ but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.
