19They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
20Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?
21Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,
22Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.
23Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,
24And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.
25Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough.
26He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.
27Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.
28And hee made it fall in the middes of their campe euen round about their habitations.
29So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.
30They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,
31When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.
32For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.
33Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.
34And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.
35And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.
36But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.
37For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.
38Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, and destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.
39For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.
40How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?
41Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.
42They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,
43Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,
44And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke.
45Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
46He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.
47He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.
