'Food' in the Bible

The foolish man, folding his hands, takes the flesh of his body for food.

The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come.

I considered and observed on earth the following: The race doesn't go to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor food to the wise, nor wealth to the smart, nor recognition to the skilled. Instead, timing and circumstances meet them all.

Happy is the land whose ruler is of noble birth, and whose chiefs take food at the right time, for strength and not for feasting.
