Context of Psalms 106:15

13They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel, 14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert. And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul. 16They envied Moses also in the camp, AndAaron the saint of Jehovah. 17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

Commentaries on Psalms 106:15

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Sent leanness - They despised the manna, and called it light, that is, innutritive, bread. God gave flesh as they desired, but gave no blessing with it; and in consequence they did not fatten, but grew lean upon it. Their souls also suffered want.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15And he gave them their request - By sending great quantities of quails. Numbers 11:31-32.

The faith induced by God's display of power in their behalf was short lived, and their new rebellion and temptation was visited by God with fresh punishment, inflicted by leaving them to the result of their own gratified appetites, and sending on them spiritual poverty (Nu 11:18). They soon forgat--literally, "They hasted, they forgat" (compare Ex 32:8). "They have turned aside quickly (or, hastily) out of the way." The haste of our desires is such…Read the comment
