Psalms 78:29

Psa 78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

Ver. 29. So they did eat, and were well filled ] But better they had fasted. Many eat that on earth which they must digest in hell; these here were murdering morsels.

He gave them their own desire ] They were heard, ad voluntatem, non ad utilitatem. Deus saepe dat iratus quod negat propitius. God’s gifts to a graceless man are giftless gifts; and he had better a great deal be without them.
