14 And the fruit of your soul's desire has gone from you, and all things delicate and shining have come to an end and will never again be seen.
And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?
So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they put in the earth the bodies of the people who had given way to their desires.
They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.
But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?
Now these things were for an example to us, so that our hearts might not go after evil things, as they did.
You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.
