Thematic Bible
Appetites » The power of appetite
We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
A man's stomach shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
And put a knife to your throat, if you are a man given to appetite.
They have stricken me, you shall say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
Come you, they say, I will bring wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

Be not among winebibbers; among gluttonous eaters of meat:
But I roughly treat my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.
And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat; neither for the body, what you shall put on.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be weighed down with carousing, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you: And put a knife to your throat, if you are a man given to appetite.
Have you found honey? eat only as much as is sufficient for you, lest you be filled with it, and vomit it.
