So Ahab went into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.

He said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you [another] vineyard for it.' And he answered, 'I will not give you my vineyard.' "

The wicked man writhes with pain all [his] days, And the number of years is hidden from the oppressor.

You who tear yourself in anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed from its place?

"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all [is] vanity."

I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all [is] vanity and grasping for the wind.

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
