1 Timothy 6:8
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

Ἀφιλάργυρος ὁ τρόπος ἀρκούμενοι τοῖς παροῦσιν αὐτὸς γὰρ εἴρηκεν Οὐ μή σε ἀνῶ οὐδ᾽ οὐ μή σε ἐγκαταλίπω
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ μεριμνᾶτε τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν τί φάγητε καὶ τί πίητε μηδὲ τῷ σώματι ὑμῶν τί ἐνδύσησθε· οὐχὶ ἡ ψυχὴ πλεῖόν ἐστιν τῆς τροφῆς καὶ τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἐνδύματος;
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
וַיִּדַּר יַֽעֲקֹב נֶדֶר לֵאמֹר אִם-יִֽהְיֶה אֱלֹהִים עִמָּדִי וּשְׁמָרַנִי בַּדֶּרֶךְ הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר אָֽנֹכִי הוֹלֵךְ וְנָֽתַן-לִי לֶחֶם לֶֽאֱכֹל וּבֶגֶד לִלְבֹּֽשׁ׃
And Jacob vowed 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 raiment to put on,
שָׁוְא׀ וּֽדְבַר-כָּזָב הַרְחֵק מִמֶּנִּי רֵאשׁ וָעֹשֶׁר אַל-תִּֽתֶּן-לִי הַטְרִיפֵנִי לֶחֶם חֻקִּֽי׃
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
יָדַעְתִּי כִּי אֵין טוֹב בָּם כִּי אִם-לִשְׂמוֹחַ וְלַעֲשׂוֹת טוֹב בְּחַיָּֽיו׃
I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בֵּֽרַכְךָ בְּכֹל מַֽעֲשֵׂה יָדֶךָ יָדַע לֶכְתְּךָ אֶת-הַמִּדְבָּר הַגָּדֹל הַזֶּה זֶה׀ אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ עִמָּךְ לֹא חָסַרְתָּ דָּבָֽר׃
For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
וַֽיְעַנְּךָ וַיַּרְעִבֶךָ וַיַּאֲכִֽלְךָ אֶת-הַמָּן אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יָדַעְתָּ וְלֹא יָֽדְעוּן אֲבֹתֶיךָ לְמַעַן הוֹדִֽיעֲךָ כִּי לֹא עַל-הַלֶּחֶם לְבַדּוֹ יִֽחְיֶה הָֽאָדָם כִּי עַל-כָּל-מוֹצָא פִֽי-יְהוָה יִֽחְיֶה הָֽאָדָֽם׃
And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
אֵֽין-טוֹב בָּאָדָם שֶׁיֹּאכַל וְשָׁתָה וְהֶרְאָה אֶת-נַפְשׁוֹ טוֹב בַּעֲמָלוֹ גַּם-זֹה רָאִיתִי אָנִי כִּי מִיַּד הָאֱלֹהִים הִֽיא׃
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
יָדֹעַ תֵּדַע פְּנֵי צֹאנֶךָ שִׁית לִבְּךָ לַעֲדָרִֽים׃
Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶת-יוֹסֵף וַיֹּאמַר הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר הִתְהַלְּכוּ אֲבֹתַי לְפָנָיו אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָק הָֽאֱלֹהִים הָֽרֹעֶה אֹתִי מֵֽעוֹדִי עַד-הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
