(Psa 106:15 KJV) And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
(Proverbs 15 also read)
Once again the KJV comes through with a literal translation. Compare the NASB:
(Psa 106:15 NAS77) So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them.The marginal note in the NASB says that “wasting disease” (7332) means literally “leanness of soul”. Again I ask, “Then why not translate it thus and let us make the application.
There is a reason why God does not give us everything we think we want. He knows what it will really produce. I don’t know about you but a lean soul does not sound like part of the plan I have for my life.
So? Pray. Let your requests be known to God. Accept His wisdom when He ignores you or gives you an alternative you had not thought of.
