Haggai 1:10-11
New English Translation
10 This is why the sky[a] has held back its dew and the earth its produce.[b] 11 Moreover, I have called for a drought that will affect the fields, the hill country, the grain, new wine, fresh olive oil, and everything that grows from the ground; it also will harm people, animals, and everything they produce.”[c]
