Haggai / Question
Question source
Haggai
Haggai lists disappointed work and lack: sowing much but harvesting little, eating without being satisfied, drinking without being filled, clothing without being warm, and wages that disappear like money put in a bag with holes Haggai 1:6. These lines summarize the economic frustration described in the chapter.
6You 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."
