Well-Fed

…when seven cows, sleek and well-fed, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

After them, seven other cows, sickly and thin, came up from the Nile and stood beside the well-fed cows on the bank of the river.

And the cows that were sickly and thin devoured the seven sleek, well-fed cows. Then Pharaoh woke up,

…when seven cows, well-fed and sleek, came up from the river and began to graze among the reeds.

Then the thin, ugly cows devoured the seven well-fed cows that were there first.

The well-fed hire themselves out for food, but the starving hunger no more. The barren woman gives birth to seven, but she who has many sons pines away.

They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.

“What good to Me is your multitude of sacrifices?” says the LORD. “I am full from the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I take no delight in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats.

They are well-fed, lusty stallions, each neighing after his neighbor’s wife.
