Verse 6
Haggai 1:6
World English Bible, British Edition
6
You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough.
You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns
wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.’

You have sown much but harvested little; you eat but are not satisfied; you drink but are not filled; you clothe yourselves but there is no warmth; and the hired worker receives his pay only to put it in a bag with holes.
