Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
You'll eat but still feel empty inside. Everything around you will be falling apart, and no matter how hard you try to save what matters to you, you won't be able to protect it. Whatever you do manage to rescue, I'll let it be destroyed anyway.
When you're living wrong, nothing will ever feel like enough and nothing you love will be safe.
