Thematic Bible



We remember the free fish we ate in Egypt, along with the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.

A worker’s appetite works for him
because his hunger urges him on.

From the fruit of his mouth a man’s stomach is satisfied;
he is filled with the product of his lips.


“They struck me, but I feel no pain!
They beat me, but I didn’t know it!
When will I wake up?
I’ll look for another drink.”


>

All man’s labor is for his stomach,
yet the appetite is never satisfied.

It will be like a hungry one who dreams he is eating,
then wakes and is still hungry;
and like a thirsty one who dreams he is drinking,
then wakes and is still thirsty, longing for water.
So it will be for all the many nations
who go to battle against Mount Zion.

“Come, let me get some wine,
let’s guzzle some beer;
and tomorrow will be like today,
only far better!”

The one who works his land
will have plenty of food,
but whoever chases fantasies
will have his fill of poverty.

The sleep of the worker is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of the rich permits him no sleep.
