Luke 15:13-16 ▼

13 A few days later, the younger son gathered together everything [that he had] and traveled to a distant country, and there he wasted his fortune in reckless and immoral living.

14 Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began to do without and be in need.

15 So he went and forced himself on one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

16 He would have gladly eaten the [carob] pods that the pigs were eating [but they could not satisfy his hunger], and no one was giving anything to him.
