Some were fools; they rebelled
and suffered for their sins.
They couldn't stand the thought of food,
and they were knocking on death's door.
"LORD, help!" they cried in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
and suffered for their sins.
Leviticus 26:14-16 "However, if you do not listen to me or obey all these commands, and if you break my covenant by rejecting my decrees, treating my regulations with contempt, and refusing to obey my commands, I will punish you. I will bring sudden terrors upon you--wasting diseases and burning fevers that will cause your eyes to fail and your life to ebb away. You will plant your crops in vain because your enemies will eat them."
(see all chapter 26)
Ezekiel 4:17 "Lacking food and water, people will look at one another in terror, and they will waste away under their punishment." (see verses 16-17)
Ezekiel 24:23 "Your heads will remain covered, and your sandals will not be taken off. You will not mourn or weep, but you will waste away because of your sins. You will groan among yourselves for all the evil you have done."
(see all chapter 24)
Ezekiel 33:10 "Son of man, give the people of Israel this message: You are saying, 'Our sins are heavy upon us, we are wasting away! How can we survive?' " (see verses 10-20)
They couldn't stand the thought of food,
Job 3:24
"I cannot eat for sighing;
my groans pour out like water." (see all chapter 3)

I gag at the thought of eating it!" (see all chapter 6)

"They lose their appetite
even for the most delicious food." (see verses 19-22)
