They that eat me will yet be hungry; And those who drink me will yet be thirsty.
⛓ Read Sirach 24 forward — the whole chapter and its afterlife →Where this passage surfaces again, sorted by the strength of the link. Each kind of reuse — formal quotation, deliberate allusion, faint echo, figural pattern — carries its own mark. Follow any reference to read it in place.
Echo1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Wisdom says 'those who drink me will thirst for more'; Jesus inverts it — whoever drinks his water 'will never thirst again' (v14). Likely deliberate contrast with the sapiential tradition; Availability secure as Second-Temple deuterocanon.
Medium confidence◇ Figural1
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
Wisdom's 'those who eat me... those who drink me' returns here with literal eating and drinking, deepening the Wisdom-banquet identification of Jesus. Coheres with v.35; the eat/drink pairing strengthens the Sirach link.
