20. He struck the rock, and so waters flowed and the torrents flooded, but would even he be able to provide bread, or provide a table, for his people?"
21. Therefore, the Lord heard, and he was dismayed, and a fire was kindled within Jacob, and an anger ascended into Israel.
22. For they neither put their trust in God, nor did they hope in his salvation.
23. And he commanded the clouds from above, and he opened the doors of heaven.
24. And he rained down manna upon them to eat, and he gave them the bread of heaven.
25. Man ate the bread of Angels. He sent them provisions in abundance.
26. He transferred the south wind from heaven, and, in his virtue, he brought in the Southwest wind.
27. And he rained down flesh upon them, as if it were dust, and feathered birds, as if they were the sand of the sea.
28. And they fell down in the midst of their camp, encircling their tabernacles.
29. And they ate until they were greatly satisfied, and he brought to them according to their desires.
30. They were not cheated out of what they wanted. Their food was still in their mouth,
31. and then the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones among them, and he impeded the elect of Israel.
32. In all these things, they continued to sin, and they were not trustworthy with his miracles.
33. And their days faded away into vanity, and their years with haste.
34. When he slew them, then they sought him. And they returned, and they drew near to him in the early morning.
35. And they were mindful that God is their helper and that the Most High God is their redeemer.
36. And they chose him with their mouth, and then they lied to him with their tongue.
37. For their heart was not upright with him, nor have they been living faithfully in his covenant.
38. Yet he is merciful, and he will pardon their sins. And he will not destroy them. And he has abundantly turned aside his own wrath. And he did not enflame his wrath entirely.
