14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.
The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
The name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
But gave in to craving in the desert, And tested God in the wasteland.
"But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared--whose will they be?'
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.
