and be satisfied
To be or become satisfied, filled, or sated (primarily with food or drink, but also by extension with other things). Used both in literal senses (e.g., to eat or drink one's fill) and metaphorically (e.g., to be satisfied by abundance, by years, or with experience). May carry the nuance of reaching a state where no more is desired or needed.
