Haggai 1:6
_ _ Nothing has prospered with you while you neglected your duty to God. The punishment corresponds to the sin. They thought to escape poverty by not building, but keeping their money to themselves; God brought it on them for not building (Proverbs 13:7; Proverbs 11:24; Matthew 6:33). Instead of cheating God, they had been only cheating themselves.
_ _ ye clothe ... but ... none warm — through insufficiency of clothing; as ye are unable through poverty from failure of your crops to purchase sufficient clothing. The verbs are infinitive, implying a continued state: “Ye have sown, and been bringing in but little; ye have been eating, but not to being satisfied; ye have been drinking, but not to being filled; ye have been putting on clothes, but not to being warmed” [Moore]. Careful consideration of God’s dealings with us will indicate God’s will regarding us. The events of life are the hieroglyphics in which God records His feelings towards us, the key to which is found in the Bible [Moore].
_ _ wages ... put ... into a bag with holes — proverbial for labor and money spent profitlessly (Zechariah 8:10; compare Isaiah 55:2; Jeremiah 2:13). Contrast, spiritually, the “bags that wax not old, the treasure in heaven that faileth not” (Luke 12:33). Through the high cost of necessaries, those who wrought for a day’s wages parted with them at once, as if they had put them into a bag with holes. |
Haggai 1:6
Have not enough — But what you eat doth not nourish or satisfy you. Are not filled — Your water quenches not your thirst, your wine does not revive your spirit. None warm — You have no comfort therein. With holes — Loses all his labour. |
Haggai 1:6
(e) 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.
(e) Consider the plagues of God upon you for preferring your policies to his religion, and because you do not seek him above all else. |
