And for these things bless him who made you and satisfies you with his good gifts: The connector And serves the function of tying this verse to the previous one. Another way to express this connection is “Instead [of bragging].” These things refers to the pleasures of the dinner party. Bless here means “thank” (Good News Translation).

And satisfies you with his good gifts: The Greek verb translated satisfies means “intoxicates, makes drunk.” It implies that our Creator is lavish with his good gifts. Good News Translation tries to convey this with “letting you enjoy so many good things.” Contemporary English Version has “who lets you enjoy all the good things he made.”
