Thematic Bible



We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic,

A worker’s appetite works for him,
For his hunger urges him on.

With the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied;
He will be satisfied with the product of his lips.

And put a knife to your throat
If you are a man of great appetite.

“They struck me, but I did not become ill;
They beat me, but I did not know it.
When shall I awake?
I will seek another drink.”

All a man’s labor is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied.

It will be as when a hungry man dreams—
And behold, he is eating;
But when he awakens, his hunger is not satisfied,
Or as when a thirsty man dreams—
And behold, he is drinking,
But when he awakens, behold, he is faint
And his thirst is not quenched.
Thus the multitude of all the nations will be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.

“Come,” they say, “let us get wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink;
And tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”


A worker’s appetite works for him,
For his hunger urges him on.



He who tills his land will have plenty of food,
But he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty.

A worker’s appetite works for him,
For his hunger urges him on.

The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach of the rich man does not allow him to sleep.
