Charles Spurgeon Commentary 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." — Haggai 1:6 (ASV)

You have sown much, and bring in little;

"You have sown much to yourselves, but little to God; what has your sowing brought in to you?"

You eat, but you do not have enough;

"Those of you who do seem to prosper are not content with what you have. Peace of mind does not come with it; you are not happy."

You drink, but you are not filled with drink;

"You are as thirsty as ever after all your drinking from the earthly cistern, yet you still crave for more of that drink which can never quench your soul's thirst."

You clothe yourselves, but there is none warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put into a bag with holes.

How often does this happen! Yet what folly it is for a man to work hard, and earn wages, and then put the money into a bag with holes, and so lose it all!
