And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.

Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

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,

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.

The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.

The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
