Genesis 25:29

Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field exhausted.

Gideon and the 300 men came to the Jordan and crossed it. They were exhausted but still in pursuit.

Then, one of the troops said, “Your father made the troops solemnly swear, ‘The man who eats food today is cursed,’ and the troops are exhausted.”

The Israelites struck down the Philistines that day from Michmash all the way to Aijalon. Since the Israelites were completely exhausted,

A righteous man eats until he is satisfied,
but the stomach of the wicked is empty.

>

Youths may faint and grow weary,
and young men stumble and fall,

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

Gideon and the 300 men came to the Jordan and crossed it. They were exhausted but still in pursuit.

Then, one of the troops said, “Your father made the troops solemnly swear, ‘The man who eats food today is cursed,’ and the troops are exhausted.”

A righteous man eats until he is satisfied,
but the stomach of the wicked is empty.
