The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek Jehovah shall not lack any good thing.

Trust in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness.

A little that the righteous has is better than the riches of many wicked.

Jehovah knows the days of the upright, and their inheritance shall be forever.

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, By no means will I ever leave you nor ever forsake you.

so shall your poverty come as one walking, and your need like an armed man.

so shall your poverty come like a prowler, and your want like an armed man.

therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom Jehovah will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron upon your neck until He has destroyed you.

They shall be wasted with hunger, devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will also send against them the teeth of beasts, with the poison of the serpents of the dust.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, My servants will eat, but you shall be hungry. Behold, My servants will drink, but you shall be thirsty. Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you shall be ashamed.

Behold, My servants will sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl because of a crushed spirit.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone does not desire to work, neither shall he eat.
