I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need.

[12] I know what it's like to have nothing, and I know what it's like to have plenty. I've learned the secret of being satisfied in every situation - whether well-fed or hungry, living in plenty or in want.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.
