29 They ate till they were gorged—

he had given them what they craved.

30 But before they turned from what they craved,

even while the food was still in their mouths,

31 God’s anger rose against them;

he put to death the sturdiest among them,

cutting down the young men of Israel.

29 So they did eat, and were well filled:

For he gave them their own desire;

30 They were not estranged from their lust.

But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

31 The wrath of God came upon them,

And slew the fattest of them,

And smote down the chosen men of Israel.

29 The people ate their fill.

He gave them what they craved.

30 But before they satisfied their craving,

while the meat was yet in their mouths,

31 the anger of God rose against them,

and he killed their strongest men.

He struck down the finest of Israel’s young men.

29 So they ate and were well filled,

For He gave them their own desire.

30 They were not deprived of their craving;

But while their food was still in their mouths,

31 The wrath of God came against them,

And slew the stoutest of them,

And struck down the choice men of Israel.

29 So the people ate and became very full.

God had given them what they wanted.

30 While they were still eating,

and while the food was still in their mouths,

31 God became angry with them.

He killed some of the healthiest of them;

he struck down the best young men of Israel.

29 So they did eat, and were well filled;

And he gave them their own desire.

30 They were not estranged from that which they desired,

Their food was yet in their mouths,

31 When the anger of God went up against them,

And slew of the fattest of them,

And smote down the young men of Israel.

29 And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them. 30 They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths, 31 When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

29 They ate more than enough. 

He gave them what they wanted, 

30 but they still wanted more. 

While the food was still in their mouths, 

31 the anger of God flared up against them. 

He killed their strongest men 

and slaughtered the best young men in Israel. 

29 They ate and were completely satisfied,

for He gave them what they craved.

30 Before they had satisfied their desire,

while the food was still in their mouths,

31 God’s anger flared up against them,

and He killed some of their best men.

He struck down Israel’s choice young men.

29 And they ate and were well filled,

for he gave them what they craved.

30 But before they had satisfied their craving,

while the food was still in their mouths,

31 the anger of God rose against them

and he killed the strongest of them,

and laid low the flower of Israel.

29 So they ate and were well filled,

and he brought about what they craved.

30 They had not yet turned aside from their craving,

while their food was still in their mouth,

31 the anger of God rose against them,

and he killed some of the stoutest of them,

even the young men of Israel he caused to bow down in death.

29 People ate until they had more than enough.

He gave them what they had longed for.

30 But even before they had finished eating, God acted.

He did it while the food was still in their mouths.

31 His anger rose up against them.

He put to death the strongest among them.

He struck down Israel’s young men.

29 So they ate and were well filled,

And their desire He gave to them.

30 Before they had satisfied their desire,

While their food was in their mouths,

31 The anger of God rose against them

And killed some of their stoutest ones,

And subdued the choice men of Israel.
