14But they had ga wanton craving in the wilderness,and hput God to the test in the desert;
15he igave them what they asked,
but sent ja wasting disease among them.
1 Corinthians 10:6
6Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as kthey did.James 4:2-3
2You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3You ask and do not receive, because you ask lwrongly, to spend it on your passions.
