From a fully vowelled text
فَلَمَّا أَنْفَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، حَدَثَ جُوعٌ شَدِيدٌ فِي تِلْكَ الْكُورَةِ، فَابْتَدَأَ يَحْتَاجُ.And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.Luke 15:14, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
جَحَدُوا الرَّبَّ وَقَالُوا: لَيْسَ هُوَ، وَلاَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْنَا شَرٌّ، وَلاَ نَرَى سَيْفًا وَلاَ جُوعًا،They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:Jeremiah 5:12, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَرَجَعَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ وَقَالَ: كَمْ مِنْ أَجِيرٍ لأَبِي يَفْضُلُ عَنْهُ الْخُبْزُ وَأَنَا أَهْلِكُ جُوعًا!And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!Luke 15:17, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
