And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
Y pon cuchillo a tu garganta si eres persona de mucho apetito.
Controla tu apetito y deseos cuando estés en situaciones de abundancia.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of King Solomon, who is traditionally credited with writing much of Proverbs around 900 BC, ancient Israelite society often featured elaborate feasts where self-control was a key virtue for wise living. This verse uses dramatic imagery to warn against the perils of gluttony, reflecting a broader cultural emphasis on moderation in a world where excess at meals could lead to physical and spiritual harm. It fits into the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament, which aimed to guide people in practical, everyday decisions to honor God.
