約伯記 23:12
I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
他嘴唇的命令，我未曾背棄；我看重他口中的言語，過於我需用的飲食。
耶利米書 15:16
When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear your name, Lord God Almighty.
耶和華萬軍之神啊，我得著你的言語就當食物吃了；你的言語是我心中的歡喜快樂，因我是稱為你名下的人。
希伯來書 5:13
- 14
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
凡只能吃奶的都不熟練仁義的道理，因為他是嬰孩；
惟獨長大成人的才能吃乾糧；他們的心竅習練得通達，就能分辨好歹了。
以賽亞書 55:10
- 11
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
雨雪從天而降，並不返回，卻滋潤地土，使地上發芽結實，使撒種的有種，使要吃的有糧。
我口所出的話也必如此，決不徒然返回，卻要成就我所喜悅的，在我發他去成就（發他去成就：或作所命定）的事上必然亨通。
馬太福音 4:4
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' "
耶穌卻回答說：「經上記著說：人活著，不是單靠食物，乃是靠神口裡所出的一切話。」
彼得前書 2:2
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
就要愛慕那純淨的靈奶，像才生的嬰孩愛慕奶一樣，叫你們因此漸長，以致得救。
