They didn't turn from their cravings. Their food was yet 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 backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.
