They had not turned away from their desire, Their food was still in their mouths,
They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
But scarce had they stilled their craving, and while their meat was yet in their mouths, [Num. 11:33.]
They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,
But they didn’t stop craving— even with the food still in their mouths!
“For the turning away of the simple kills them, And the complacency of fools destroys them.
