Appetites » The power of appetite
We remember the fish we ate freely and without cost in Egypt, the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;
He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words.
For you will put a knife to your throat
If you are a man of great appetite.
“They struck me, but I was not hurt!
They beat me, but I did not feel it!
When will I wake up?
I will seek more wine.”
All the labor of man is for his mouth [for self-preservation and enjoyment], and yet the desire [of his soul] is not satisfied.
It will be as when a hungry man dreams
That he is eating,
But when he awakens, his
Or as when a thirsty man dreams
That he is drinking,
But when he awakens, in fact, he is faint
And his thirst is not quenched.
So will the multitude of all the nations be
Who fight against Mount Zion.
“Come,” [they say,] “let us get wine, and let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
And tomorrow will be like today, very great indeed.”

And your voice shall be like that of a ghost [produced by a medium] coming from the earth, and your speech shall whisper and squeak as it chatters from the dust. But the multitude of your [enemy] strangers that assail you shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the ruthless and terrible ones like chaff that blows away.
