King James Version (KJV)

Ye looked for much, and, lo, {it came} to little; and when ye brought {it} home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that {is} waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. {blow...: or, blow it away}

Modern English

“You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.
