Proverbs 23:1–3
When you sit down to dine with a ruler, consider carefully what is set before you, / and put a knife to your throat if you possess a great appetite. / Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive.
Lamentations 4:5
Those who once ate delicacies are destitute in the streets; those brought up in crimson huddle in ash heaps.
Amos 6:4, 5
You lie on beds inlaid with ivory, and lounge upon your couches. You dine on lambs from the flock and calves from the stall. / You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments.
Luke 16:19
Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
