Thematic Bible: Its yielding but little increase


Thematic Bible



For a ten-acre vineyard will yield
only six gallons,
and 10 bushels of seed will yield
only one bushel.

You have planted much
but harvested little.
You eat
but never have enough to be satisfied.
You drink
but never have enough to become drunk.
You put on clothes
but never have enough to get warm.
The wage earner puts his wages
into a bag with a hole in it.”
