Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
The LORD does not let the righteous go hungry, but He denies the craving of the wicked.
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.
They will be wasted from hunger and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them, with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.
…and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
…you will serve your enemies the LORD will send against you in famine, thirst, nakedness, and destitution. He will place an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.
Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many who are wicked.
…and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”
