Psalms 106:15

Psa 106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

Ver. 15. And he gave them their request ] Deus saepe dat iratus quod negat propitius (Aug.).

Munera magna quidem misit, sed misit in hamo

(Martial).

Quails they had, but to choke them; as afterwards a king, but to vex them, &c.

But sent leanness into their soul ] i.e. Into their bodies, such a loathing as caused leanness, Numbers 11:20 , a plague upon their bodies, a curse upon their souls. Many men eat that on earth which they digest in hell. It is dangerous feeding on sin’s murdering morsels.
