叫饥饿的得饱美食,叫富足的空手回去(路1:53)。
你说:我是富足,已经发了财,一样都不缺;却不知道你是那困苦、可怜、贫穷、瞎眼、赤身的。我劝你向我买火炼的金子,叫你富足;凡我所疼爱的,我就责备管教他,所以你要发热心,也要悔改(启3:17-19)。
饥渴慕义的人有福了,因为他们必得饱足(太5:6)。困苦穷乏人寻求水却没有,他们因口渴,舌头干燥。我耶和华必应允他们,我以色列的 神必不离弃他们(赛41:17)。我是耶和华你的 神,你要大大张口,我就给你充满(诗81:10)。你们为何花钱买那不足为食物的,用劳碌得来的买那不使人饱足的呢?你们要留意听我的话,就能吃那美物,得享肥甘,心中喜乐(赛55:2)。我就是生命的粮,到我这里来的,必定不饿;信我的,永远不渴(约6:35)。
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. LUKE 1:53.
Thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods and have need of nothing: and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and repent.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. — When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. — I am the Lord thy God … open thy mouth wide and I will fill it. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. — I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

我的脚几乎失闪,我的脚险些滑跌(诗73:2)。
我正说我失了脚,耶和华啊,那时你的慈爱扶助我(诗94:18)。 西门,西门!撒但想要得着你们,好筛你们像筛麦子一样。但我已经为你祈求,叫你不至于失了信心(路22:31,32)。义人虽七次跌倒,仍必兴起(箴24:16)。他虽失脚,也不至全身仆倒,因为耶和华用手搀扶他(诗37:24)。我的仇敌啊,不要向我夸耀。我虽跌倒,却要起来;我虽坐在黑暗里,耶和华却作我的光(弥7:8)。你六次遭难,他必救你;就是七次,灾祸也无法害你(伯5:19)。 若有人犯罪,在父那里我们有一位中保,就是那义者耶稣基督(约壹2:1)。凡靠着他进到 神面前的人,他都能拯救到底,因为他是长远活着,替他们祈求(来7:25)。
My feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. PSA. 73:2.
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. The Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not. A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again. — Although he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise: when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. — He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. — Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
