Haggai 1,2

Waiting on God

1 I det andre året av kong Darius, på den første dagen i den sjette måneden, kom Herrens ord gjennom profeten Haggai til Serubabel, sønn av Sjealtiel, stattholderen i Juda, og til Josva, sønn av Jehozadak, ypperstepresten, og sa,

"Dette sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud:
‘Dette folket sier: "Tiden er ennå ikke kommet for å bygge Herrens hus."’"

3 Da kom Herrens ord gjennom profeten Haggai og sa,

4 "Er det tid for dere å bo i deres bordkledde hus,
mens dette huset ligger i ruiner?"

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
