Shulchan Shel Arba
Typically, when people recline at the table and enjoy themselves eating and drinking, isn’ttemptation exactly what tricks their instinct by its crafty power to make their nature too proud and make their heart haughty? Because when they eat they’ll be sated, and when sated they’ll be wicked. They’ll throw off any discipline; their tastes will grip their sense, and will pull them by “the cords of falsehood.”28Is 5:18. They won’t distinguish between the sacred and the profane, nor between the cheap and the priceless; they’ll drink and forget what the point was. And thus the prophet, the son of Beeri, when at the Israelites he was piqued and shrieked, “When they were sated, their hearts grew haughty and they forgot me.”29Hos. 13:6. And in the Torah it is written, “[When] your herds and flocks have multiplied, and your silver and gold have increased, and everything you own has prospered, your heart will grow haughty and you will forget the Lord your God.”30Dt. 8:13-14.
