Appetites » The power of appetite
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him thereto .
A man's belly shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; With the increase of his lips shall he be satisfied.
And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite.
They have stricken me,'shalt thou say , and I was not hurt; They have beaten me, and I felt it not: When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
And it shall be as when a hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
Come ye,'say they , I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, a day great beyond measure.
Hunger » A stimulus to work
The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him thereto .
Labor » Those that labor
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons is void of understanding.
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread; But he that followeth after vain persons'shall have poverty enough.
The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him thereto .
The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much; but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; But he that gathereth by labor shall have increase.
