Appetites » The power of appetite
We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumber, melon, leek, the onions, and the garlic.
From the fruit of a man's mouth, his stomach will be satisfied, as for the yield of his lips, it will satisfy.
and you shall put a knife to your throat if you have a {big appetite}.
"They struck me; I was not hurt. They beat me; I did not know [it]. When I will awake, I will continue; I will seek it again."
All of a man's toil [is] for his mouth-- yet his appetite is never satisfied.
And it shall be as when the hungry person dreams--look, [he is] eating! And he wakes up and his inner self [is] empty. Or as when the thirsty person dreams--look, [he is] drinking! And he wakes up and look, [he is] faint, and his inner self [is] longing for water. So shall be the multitude of all the nations who fight against Mount Zion.
"Come, let me take wine, and let us carouse [with] intoxicating drink, and tomorrow will be like today, {very great indeed}."
Hunger » A stimulus to work
Labor » Those that labor
He who works his land will have plenty of food, but he who follows worthless things lacks {sense}.
He who tills his ground will have plenty bread, but he who follows fantasies will have plenty [of] poverty.
The sleep of the laborer [is] pleasant, whether he eats little or much, but the wealth of the rich man does not allow him to rest.
Wealth [gained] from haste will dwindle, but he who gathers {little by little} will increase it.
