A sated man loathes honey, But to a famished man any bitter thing is sweet.
The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
He who is satiated [with sensual pleasures] loathes and treads underfoot a honeycomb, but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
The full soul loatheth a honeycomb; But to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
Someone who is full refuses honey, but anything bitter tastes sweet to a hungry person.
A sated soul will trample the honeycomb. And a hungry soul will accept even bitter in place of sweet.
