I guess i didn't deal with who that was to my bad. Sinful man does not hunger or thirst after righteousness (notice the scriptures that i already posted). However a saved individual would therefore to the individual who has been saved and thirst for more there is plenty. If this passage was directed toward the unsaved then you have a problem when you get to these verses:
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Sinners are not pure in heart nor are they righteous.
This is directed to those following Jesus not those who are not yet saved.
