5 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

6 Ye have sown much , and bring in little; ye eat , but ye have not enough; ye drink , but ye are not filled with drink ; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes .
