Amos 5:11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 Therefore, because you tax the destitute
and exact from them levies of grain,
Though you have built houses of hewn stone,
you shall not live in them;
Though you have planted choice vineyards,
you shall not drink their wine.(A)
Haggai 1:6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 You have sown much, but have brought in little;
you have eaten, but have not been satisfied;(A)
You have drunk, but have not become intoxicated;
you have clothed yourselves, but have not been warmed;
And the hired worker labors for a bag full of holes.
