Thematic Bible
Appetites » The power of appetite
Remember all the free fish we ate in Egypt and the cucumbers, watermelons, leeks, onions, and garlic we had?
A man's stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth. He will be filled with the produce from his lips.
Put a knife to your throat, if you are a man with a strong desire (lust) (passion).
They struck me but I did not become sick. They beat me and I did not feel it. When will I awake? I will seek drink yet again.
All the labor of man is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied.
It will be like a hungry man who dreams that he eats. But when he awakes he is empty and still hungry! It will also be like a thirsty man who dreams that he drinks. When he awakes he is thirsty and weak and hungry. The multitude of nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like this.
Come, each one cries, let me get wine! Let us drink our fill of beer! And tomorrow will be like today, or even far better.

He told his disciples: Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, what you eat or what you wear on your body.
Be awake so your hearts are not weighed down. Do not allow the weight of worldly involvement, drunkenness, and cares of this life be a snare when that day suddenly comes.
When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you. Put a knife to your throat, if you are a man with a strong desire (lust) (passion).
Have you found honey? Eat only what is needed or you will be too full and vomit.
