yet the appetite is never satisfied.

Proverbs 16:26

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

And He said to Adam, “Because you listened to your wife’s voice and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘Do not eat from it’:

The ground is cursed because of you.
You will eat from it by means of painful labor
all the days of your life.
