he collects all the peoples for himself.
We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.
Contemptible people among them had a strong craving for other food. The Israelites cried again and said, “Who will feed us meat?
Three things
four never say, “Enough!”:
Now these things became examples for us, so that we will not desire evil things as they did.
You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. You do not have because you do not ask.

Riddle » By agur
The leech has two daughters: Give, Give. Three things are never satisfied; four never say, "Enough!": Sheol; a barren womb; earth, which is never satisfied with water; and fire, which never says, "Enough!"
Three things are beyond me; four I can't understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a young woman. This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, "I've done nothing wrong." read more.
The earth trembles under three things; it cannot bear up under four: a servant when he becomes king, a fool when he is stuffed with food, an unloved woman when she marries, and a serving girl when she ousts her lady. Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: the ants are not a strong people, yet they store up their food in the summer; hyraxes are not a mighty people, yet they make their homes in the cliffs; locusts have no king, yet all of them march in ranks; a lizard can be caught in your hands, yet it lives in kings' palaces. Three things are stately in their stride, even four are stately in their walk: a lion, which is mightiest among beasts and doesn't retreat before anything, a strutting rooster, a goat, and a king at the head of his army.
