'Lack' in the Bible
Therefore my people go into exile because they lack understanding; my honored men go hungry, and the crowd is parched with thirst.
Why is it that when I came, no one was there? Why was there no answer when I called? Was my arm too short to redeem you? Do I lack the strength to rescue you? Look! By my mere rebuke I dry up the sea, I turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink for lack of water and die of thirst.
Distress will quickly be set free. He won't die in the Pit, nor will he lack food."
Meanwhile, the dogs have a mighty appetite they can never get enough. And as for them, they are the shepherds who lack understanding; they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, each and every one.
