Desires » Evil
And also, because the wine is treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples,
among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others,
And the rabble who are in its midst have lusted greatly, and the sons of Israel also turn back and weep, and say, 'Who doth give us flesh?
To the leech are two daughters, 'Give, give, Lo, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said 'Sufficiency;'
and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.
ye desire, and ye have not; ye murder, and are zealous, and are not able to attain; ye fight and war, and ye have not, because of your not asking;
because all that is in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world,

To the leech are two daughters, 'Give, give, Lo, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said 'Sufficiency;' Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth -- it is not satisfied with water, And fire -- it hath not said, 'Sufficiency,'
Three things have been too wonderful for me, Yea, four that I have not known: The way of the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way of a man in youth. So -- the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, 'I have not done iniquity.' read more.
For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four -- it is not able to bear: For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread, For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when she succeedeth her mistress. Four are little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the wise: The ants are a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food, Conies are a people not strong, And they place in a rock their house, A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out -- each one shouting, A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king. Three there are going well, Yea, four are good in going: An old lion -- mighty among beasts, That turneth not back from the face of any, A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king -- no rising up with him.
