25People ate the bread of angels. He sent them food in abundance.
26He caused the east wind to blow in the sky, and by his power he guided the south wind.
27He rained down meat on them like dust, birds as numerous as the sands of the sea.
28They fell in the middle of their camp, all around their tents.
29So they ate and were full. He gave them what they craved.
30But they had not yet filled up; their food was still in their mouths.
31Then God's anger attacked them and killed the strongest of them. He brought down the young men of Israel.
32Despite this, they continued to sin and did not believe his wonderful deeds.
33Therefore God cut short their days; their years were filled with terror.
34Whenever God afflicted them, they would start to seek him, and they would return and look earnestly for him.
35They would call to mind that God was their rock and that the Most High God was their rescuer.
36But they would flatter him with their mouth and lie to him with their words.
37For their hearts were not firmly fixed on him, and they were not faithful to his covenant.
38Yet he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. Yes, many times he held back his anger and did not stir up all his wrath.
39He called to mind that they were made of flesh, a wind that passes away and does not return.
