Verse 9 is found in chapter 1 of Haggai. The scarcity experienced by Judah is interpreted in light of its priorities. The people expected much but received little while the house of God remained neglected. Haggai thus presents a relationship between communal conduct and the experience of frustration without reducing human suffering to a simplistic formula.
