Thematic Bible
the Diet of the jews » Of the rich, luxurious
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). Do not crave his delicacies for it is deceptive food.
Those used to feasting on delicate food are wasted in the streets. Those who as children were dressed in purple are stretched out on the dust.
Verse Concepts
You lie on beds of ivory, and stretch on couches. You eat the the best lambs out of the flock and the fattest calves out of the stall. You sing idle songs to the sound of the harp and like David you improvise on musical instruments.
