Salmos 78:18

18 Y tentaron a Dios en su corazón, pidiendo comida al gusto de su alma

Salmos 78:18 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:18

And they tempted God in their heart
Which is desperately wicked, and from whence all impiety flows; they entertained hard thoughts of God; they inwardly fretted at their present circumstances, and secretly repined and murmured against God, and wished for things they should not; not being contented with what they had, and thankful for them, as they ought to have been:

by asking meat for their lust;
or, "for their soul"; such as their souls lusted after, and their sensitive appetites craved; for they were not satisfied with the bread they had, which was sufficient for their sustenance and support; they wanted food for pleasure and wantonness; to ask for daily bread is right, but to ask for more to consume on our lusts is wrong, ( James 4:3 ) .

Salmos 78:18 In-Context

16 y sacó de la peña corrientes, e hizo descender aguas como ríos

17 Pero aun tornaron a pecar contra él, enojando al Altísimo en la soledad

18 Y tentaron a Dios en su corazón, pidiendo comida al gusto de su alma

19 Y hablaron contra Dios, diciendo: ¿Podrá Dios ponernos mesa en el desierto

20 He aquí ha herido la peña, y corrieron aguas, y arroyos salieron ondeando: ¿Podrá también dar pan? ¿Aparejará carne a su pueblo
