The righteous has enough food to satisfy his appetite, but the belly of the wicked lacks food.

Even young lions sometimes lack food and are hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

The Lord satisfies the appetite of the righteous, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.

instead in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. They will place an iron yoke on your neck until they have destroyed you.

They will be starved by famine, eaten by plague, and bitterly stung; I will send the teeth of wild animals against them, along with the poison of creatures that crawl in the dust.

Trust in the Lord and do what is right! Settle in the land and maintain your integrity!

The little bit that a godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men,

The Lord watches over the innocent day by day and they possess a permanent inheritance.

and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need like an armed man.

and your poverty will come like a bandit, and your need like an armed robber."

So this is what the sovereign Lord says: "Look, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry! Look, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty! Look, my servants will rejoice, but you will be humiliated!

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command: "If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat."

For "physical exercise has some value, but godliness is valuable in every way. It holds promise for the present life and for the life to come."

Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you and I will never abandon you."
