Psalms 78:30

28 He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.

29 So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.

Yet before they had filled their desire, with the food still in their mouths,

31 God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.

32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.
