心試上帝、隨己之欲而求食兮、

They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved.

They stubbornly tested God in their hearts, demanding the foods they craved.

They deliberately tested God, demanding the food they craved.

And in their heart they put God to the test By asking for food that suited their taste.

And they tested God in their heart By asking for the food of their fancy.

And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.

And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

They willfully challenged God by asking for food to satisfy their appetite.

They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

Some people with them began to wish for other food. Again the Israelites began to cry out. They said,“ We wish we had meat to eat.

Don’t test the Lord your God as you did at Massah.

We should not test the Messiah, as some of them did. They were killed by snakes.

In the desert they longed for food. In that dry and empty land they tested God.So he gave them what they asked for. But he also sent a sickness that killed many of them.

In the desert the whole community told Moses and Aaron they weren’t happy with them.The Israelites said to them,“ We wish the Lord had put us to death in Egypt. There we sat around pots of meat. We ate all the food we wanted. But you have brought us out into this desert. You must want this entire community to die of hunger.”

Now those things happened as examples for us. They are supposed to keep us from wanting evil things. The people of Israel wanted these evil things.

You want something, but you don’t have it. So you kill. You want what others have, but you can’t get what you want. So you argue and fight. You don’t have what you want, because you don’t ask God.When you do ask for something, you don’t receive it. That’s because you ask for the wrong reason. You want to spend your money on your sinful pleasures.

There your people of long ago really tested me. They did it even though they had seen what I had done for them.
