Salmos 78:18

Psa 78:18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

Ver. 18. And they tempted God in their heart ] In their hearts first, but afterwards also with their lips. The psalmist here striketh at the root of their wickedness.

By asking meat for their lust ] Not for their necessity (that had been more excusable, Pro 6:30 ), but to satisfy their inordinate appetite, to gratify their licorish palate.
