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 bhe who earns wages,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”
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 bhe who earns wages,
Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”

8 Go up to the amountains and bring wood and build the1 temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord.
