medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
At the nearest cf. Haggai 1, 6: "Seminastis multum et intulistis
parum comedistis et non estis satiati bibistis et non estis inebriati
operuistis vos et non estis calefacti et qui mercedes congregavit
misit eas in sacculum pertusum."
