Appetites » The power of appetite

Verse Concepts
The appetite of a worker works for him,
For his hunger urges him on.
A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;
He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words.
For you will put a knife to your throat
If you are a man of great appetite.
“They struck me, but I was not hurt!
They beat me, but I did not feel it!
When will I wake up?
I will seek more wine.”

Verse Concepts
It will be as when a hungry man dreams
That he is eating,
But when he awakens, his
Or as when a thirsty man dreams
That he is drinking,
But when he awakens, in fact, he is faint
And his thirst is not quenched.
So will the multitude of all the nations be
Who fight against Mount Zion.
“Come,” [they say,] “let us get wine, and let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
And tomorrow will be like today, very great indeed.”
Appetites » Restrained
Do not associate with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat,
But [like a boxer] I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached [the gospel] to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified [as unfit for service].
Verse Concepts
Jesus said to His disciples, “For this reason I tell you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; or about your body, as to what you will wear.
Verse Concepts

Otherwise, being filled excessively, you vomit it.
