'Desires' in the Bible
So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they put in the earth the bodies of the people who had given way to their desires.
So that, looking on these ornaments, you may keep in mind the orders of the Lord and do them; and not be guided by the desires of your hearts and eyes, through which you have been untrue to me:
Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the desires of my heart.
So will your delight be in the Lord, and he will give you your heart's desires.
But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,
So I gave them up to the desires of their hearts; that they might go after their evil purposes.
They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.
So they became unclean through their works, going after their evil desires.
The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.
He whose desires are fixed on profit is a cause of trouble to his family; but he who has no desire for offerings will have life.
A king, by right rule, makes the land safe; but one full of desires makes it a waste.
A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.
He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;
A curse on the cruel and false one! the man full of pride, who never has enough; who makes his desires wide as the underworld! he is like death; he is never full, but he makes all nations come to him, getting all peoples together to himself.
