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.”


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


“Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge
And fill himself with the east wind?

“They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity,
And their mind prepares deception.”

“Because he knew no quiet within him,
He does not retain anything he desires.

For our soul has sunk down into the dust;
Our body cleaves to the earth.


Stripes that wound scour away evil,
And strokes reach the innermost parts.

I heard and my inward parts trembled,
At the sound my lips quivered.
Decay enters my bones,
And in my place I tremble.
Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress,
For the people to arise who will invade us.



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

A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words,
And the deeds of a man’s hands will return to him.

From the fruit of a man’s mouth he enjoys good,
But the desire of the treacherous is violence.
