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. |
“You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.” |
“You have sown much, but harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink but there is not enough to become drunk; you pull on clothing, but no one is warm enough; and he who earns, earns wages to put into a purse with holes.” |

You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.” |
You have sown much, but you have reaped little; you eat, but you do not have enough; you drink but you do not have your fill: you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages has earned them to put them in a bag with holes in it. |
