Haggai 1:9-11
Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts. Because of my house that lieth waste, while ye run every man to his own house.Therefore for your sake the heavens withhold the dew, and the earth withholdeth its fruit.And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the grain, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands.

Ecclesiastes 11:1-2
Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days.Give a portion to seven, yea, even unto eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

Haggai 1:4-6
Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste?Now therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Consider your ways.Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.

Haggai 2:18-19
Consider, I pray you, from this day and backward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Jehovah’s temple was laid, consider it.Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, the vine, and the fig- tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive- tree have not brought forth; from this day will I bless you.

Malachi 3:8-10
Will a man rob God? yet ye rob me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.Ye are cursed with the curse; for ye rob me, even this whole nation.Bring ye the whole tithe into the store- house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Proverbs 3:9-10
Honor Jehovah with thy substance, And with the first- fruits of all thine increase:So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy vats shall overflow with new wine.
