29. So they did eat, and were well filled. They
greedily devoured the birds, even to repletion. The Lord showed them that when
lust wins its desire it is disappointed, and by the way of satiety arrives at
distaste. For he gave them their own desire. The meat was unhealthy for
them, but as they cried for it they had it, and a curse with it. O my God, deny
me my most urgent prayers sooner than answer them in displeasure. Better to
hunger and thirst after righteousness than to be well filled with sin’s
dainties.
