Unsatisfied » Prodigality

"The fruit that you crafted has abandoned you. All your dainties and your splendor are lost, and no one will ever find them again."
Unsatisfied » Gratification of appetite
Every person works for his own self-interests, but his desires remain unsatisfied.
as when a hungry man dreams he eats, but wakes up still hungry; or when a thirsty man dreams he drinks, but wakes up faint, with his thirst unquenched. So will it be with the hordes of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.
Unsatisfied » Pursuit of worldly objects
Why spend your money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in rich food.
Therefore, this is what the LORD says: "See, my servants will eat, but you'll go hungry; my servants will drink, but you'll go thirsty; my servants will rejoice, but you'll be put to shame.
Unsatisfied » Accumulation of wealth
Whoever loves money will never have enough money. Whoever loves luxury will not be content with abundance. This also is pointless.
Unsatisfied » Opportunities for seeing and hearing
Everything is wearisome, more than man is able to express. The eye is never satisfied by seeing, nor the ear by hearing.
Unsatisfied » Aimless toil
