Matthew 5:6

6 Blessed are those who hunger ^{▼▼sn Those who hunger are people like the poor Jesus has already mentioned. The term has OT roots both in conjunction with the poor (Isa 32:6-7; 58:6-7, 9-10; Ezek 18:7, 16) or by itself (Pss 37:16-19; 107:9).} and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
