1 Kings 21:5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread? A man who lives entirely for himself becomes at last obnoxious to himself. I believe it is the very law of God that self-centeredness ends in self-nauseousness. There is no weariness like the weariness of a man who is wearied of himself, and that is the awful Nemesis which follows the selfish life. (J. H. Jowett.)
