Psalms 78:17-34

¹⁷But they repeated to sin yet more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸And they tempted God in their heart, by asking food for their desire.

¹⁹Yea, they spoke against God: they said, Will God be able to set in order a table in the wilderness?

²⁰Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed: shall he also be able to give bread? or can he provide flesh for his people?

²¹Therefore, when the Lord heard this, he became wroth: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also ascended against Israel,

²²Because they had not believed in God, and had not trusted in his salvation.

²³Then he ordained the skies from above, and the doors of heaven he opened;

²⁴And he let rain down upon them manna to eat, and the corn of heaven gave he unto them.

²⁵Angels' bread did man eat: he sent them provision to satisfaction.

²⁶He caused an east wind to pass along the heavens; and he led forth by his strength the south wind.

²⁷And he let rain upon them flesh as plentiful as the dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea;

²⁸And he let them fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

²⁹And they ate, and were greatly satisfied, and what they longed for he brought unto them.

³⁰They were not estranged from their longing, yet was their food in their mouth:

³¹When the wrath of God ascended against them, and he slew some of the fattest of them, and the young men of Israel did he strike down.

³²With all this they sinned again, and believed not in his wonders.

³³Therefore he caused their days to come to an end in nought, and their years in dread.

³⁴When he slew them, then did they seek him, and they returned and inquired earnestly after God.
