Numbers 11:33: Alas for sinners that obtain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Alas for sinners that obtain
Their passionate request!
Lidulged in nature's lust, they gain
A grief, a curse, a pest:
But our imaginary want
Thou wilt not, Lord, supply;
To them Thou dost in anger grant,
To us in love deny.
