KJV - Haggai 1:6
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.
You planted a lot but got little harvest; you eat but aren't full; you drink but aren't satisfied; you dress up but aren't warm; and the person who works for pay just earns money to put in a holey bag.
