new⁽ⁱ⁾

9 H6437 [H8800] Ye looked H7235 [H8687] for much, H4592 and, lo, it came to little; H935 [H8689] and when ye brought H1004 it home, H5301 [H8804] I did blow H5002 [H8803] upon it. Why? saith H3068 the LORD H6635 of hosts. H3282 Because H1004 of my house H2720 that is waste, H7323 [H8801] and ye run H376 every man H1004 to his own house.
