“Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.”
Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways—the divine command to 'consider your ways' invokes self-examination; the community must reflect upon the consequences of their choices. The summons to consideration establishes that understanding, not mere compliance, should motivate repentance. Haggai invites the people to think through the causal relationship between their priorities and their circumstances.
