Psalms 78:24-29. And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full. He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven : and by his power he brought in the south wind. He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: and he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

You know how David puts it in the 37th Psalm: "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." If, however, thou findest thy delight in any earthly thing, it shall be a plague to thee to have the desire of thy heart: "He gave them their own desire; " -
