Genesis 28:20
20Then Jacob amade a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,Genesis 48:15
15And he blessed Joseph and said,“The God bbefore whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,
Deuteronomy 2:7
7For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. cHe knows your going through this great wilderness. dThese forty years the Lord your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.”’Deuteronomy 8:3-4
3And he humbled you and elet you hunger and ffed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that gman does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word ▼▼Hebrew by all
that comes from the mouth of the Lord. 4 iYour clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years. Proverbs 27:23-27
23 jKnow well the condition of your flocks,and kgive attention to your herds,
24for lriches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
25 mWhen the grass is gone and the new growth appears
and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
26 nthe lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
27 oThere will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
for the food of your household
and maintenance for your girls.
Proverbs 30:8-9
8Remove far from me falsehood and lying;give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with the food that is pneedful for me,
9lest I be qfull and rdeny you
and say, s“Who is the Lord?”
or lest I be poor and steal
tand profane the name of my God.
Ecclesiastes 2:24-26
24 uThere is nothing better for a person than that he should veat and drink and find enjoyment ▼▼Or and make his soul see good
in his toil. This also, I saw, is xfrom the hand of God, 25for apart from him ▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts apart from me
who can eat or who can have enjoyment? 26For to the one who pleases him zGod has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given aathe business of gathering and collecting, abonly to give to one who pleases God. acThis also is vanity and a striving after wind.
