ESVEnglish Standard Version

And they ate and were well filled,

for he gave them what they craved.

But before they had satisfied their craving,

while the food was still in their mouths,

the anger of God rose against them,

and he killed the strongest of them

and laid low the young men of Israel.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

They ate till they were gorged—

he had given them what they craved.

But before they turned from what they craved,

even while the food was still in their mouths,

God’s anger rose against them;

he put to death the sturdiest among them,

cutting down the young men of Israel.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The people ate and were completely satisfied,

for he gave them what they craved.

Before they had turned from what they craved,

while the food was still in their mouths,

God’s anger flared up against them,

and he killed some of their best men.

He struck down Israel’s fit young men.

NLTNew Living Translation

The people ate their fill.

He gave them what they craved.

But before they satisfied their craving,

while the meat was yet in their mouths,

the anger of God rose against them,

and he killed their strongest men.

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

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

So they ate and were well filled,

and he brought about what they craved.

They had not yet turned aside from their craving,

while their food was still in their mouth,

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

So they did eat, and were well filled:

For he gave them their own desire;

They were not estranged from their lust.

But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

The wrath of God came upon them,

And slew the fattest of them,

And smote down the chosen men of Israel.
