Verse 4 is found in chapter 1 of Haggai. God’s question directly confronts the contradiction between the carefully constructed houses of the inhabitants and the ruined state of the temple. The issue is not merely architectural, but one of priorities: the people have invested in their own well-being while the house of God remains neglected.
