They're so cold, these scholars! May lightning strike their foodso that their mouths learn howto eat fire!

About This Quote

The Bible was written by a group of people who seemed to have no compassion for the poor and downtrodden. In the book of Psalms, we find a reference to a group of “scholars” who lived in a cave and did nothing but eat and sleep. The scholars were so cold that their food was so hot it burned their mouths. It’s an interesting thought, isn’t it? If you think about it, what kind of people could be so cold that they couldn’t feel their food? These people could have been living in caves without any heat or light, and they still would have been cold.

Perhaps you’re thinking that they lived in an igloo or something. That may be true, but think about the effect of the cold on their bodies. They were probably living in a cave with no insulation whatsoever.

The idea presented here is that if you don’t put anything in your mouth, you don’t get hungry!
