The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his
soul
He is blessed with a sufficient competency to live upon; and he
is contented with what he has, and uses it moderately; he has
enough to eat, and is contented with his portion, and eats no
more than sufficeth; he eats to the satisfying of his appetite,
and no more; he does not indulge to luxury and excess: and so as
to spiritual things; he eats to the satisfying of his soul, with
the goodness and fatness of God's house, with the word and
ordinances, with the promises of the Gospel, and with Jesus
Christ, the bread of life; with these he is satisfied, as with
marrow and fatness; but the belly of the wicked shall
want;
not only spiritual food, which he has no appetite for, but
corporeal food; he shall starve in the midst of plenty, not
having a heart to put that food into his mouth, and fill his
belly with it, as nature requires, through his covetousness; or,
having spent his substance in rioting and wantonness, wants bread
to satisfy the craving of his appetite.
