Behold the table, the meat, and the knife, but we have no mouth to eat

In the question: What is the value of money when there is no good health to borrow from it? Or: Everything is prepared and available, but we do not have the ability to borrow from what we have. "We give nuts to those who have no money."

("Rabbi Yochanan said: The mountains of Shulchan, the mountains of flesh, and the mountains of Sakin, and we have nothing to eat" - Kiddushin 40 a.)
