Haggai 1:5

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.

And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the Lord: Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty. I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the Lord. Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord’s temple was laid, consider it.

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.

But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.

And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.

Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
