  2. Exposition

What is the meaning of the reference to drinking but never having one’s fill?

Haggai 1:6 (ESV)

6 You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.

This is a reference not to drunkenness but to the quenching of thirst.1
