22Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.
23And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;
24And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.
25Man took part in the food of strong ones; he sent them meat in full measure.
26He sent an east wind from heaven, driving on the south wind by his power.
27He sent down meat on them like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the sea,
28And he let it come down into their resting-place, round about their tents.
29So they had food and were full; for he gave them their desire;
30But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,
31The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.
32For all this they went on sinning even more, and had no faith in his great wonders.
33So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.
34When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;
35In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.
36But their lips were false to him, and their tongues were untrue to him;
37And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.
38But he, being full of pity, has forgiveness for sin, and does not put an end to man: frequently turning back his wrath, and not being violently angry.
39So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.
