Haggai 1:6

6 You have sown much but have harvested little. You have eaten without [being] satisfied; {you have drunk without being satiated};[a] you have worn clothes without [being] warm; the one who earns wages puts it in {a pouch with holes}.'[b]

4 "[Is it] a time for you yourselves to dwell in your houses that have been paneled [while] this house [is] desolate?"
5 And so then, thus says Yahweh of hosts: '{Consider your ways}!
6 You have sown much but have harvested little. You have eaten without [being] satisfied; {you have drunk without being satiated}; you have worn clothes without [being] warm; the one who earns wages puts it in {a pouch with holes}.'
7 Thus says Yahweh of hosts: '{Consider your ways}!
8 Go up the mountain and bring wood and build the house so that I may be pleased with it and honored,' says Yahweh.
