Num. 11:4‑9,18‑20• 4And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
 5We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
 6But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
 7And the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium.
 8And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
 9And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
 18And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the Lord will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
 19Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
 20But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the Lord which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? (Num. 11:4‑9,18‑20)

Luke 15:16‑17• 16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

John 6:9• 9There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? (John 6:9)
• The verse has been paraphrased as follows: “The pampered glutton loathes even luxurious food; but he who is really hungry, will eat even indifferent food with a high relish.” It is need that gives appetite and enjoyment for what would otherwise be despised. To many, the word of God is one of these bitter things; but when the soul is hungry it becomes sweet as honey. See the little books eaten by Ezekiel and John (Ezek. 3:1-4; Rev. 10:9, 10). (“Proverbs Twenty-Seven” by H.A. Ironside)
