6 ^jYou have sown much, and harvested little. ^kYou eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who ^learns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

9 ^jYou looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, ^oI blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house ^hthat lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.
