World English Bible Public Domain
You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don't have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it."

King James Version Public Domain
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, but you have brought in little. You eat, but not to satiety. You drink, but not to become drunk. One wears clothes, but he does not warm himself. And the wage earner earns wages into a punctured bag!’
