-
They set the tables, they spread the rugs, they eat, they drink! Get up, you officers, oil the shields!
-
But see, there is joy and revelry, slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine! “Let us eat and drink,” you say, “for tomorrow we die!”
-
as when a hungry person dreams of eating, but awakens hungry still; as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking, but awakens faint and thirsty still. So will it be with the hordes of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.
-
The oxen and donkeys that work the soil will eat fodder and mash, spread out with fork and shovel.

It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me. Who will condemn me? They will all wear out like a garment; the moths will eat them up.

Invitation to the Thirsty
“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
-

-
They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
