14. In the daytime he led them with a cloud,and all the night with a fiery light.
15. He split rocks in the wildernessand gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16. He made streams come out of the rockand caused waters to flow down like rivers.
17. Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18. They tested God in their heartby demanding the food they craved.
19. They spoke against God, saying, “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?
20. He struck the rock so that water gushed outand streams overflowed.Can he also give breador provide meat for his people?”
21. Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob;his anger rose against Israel,
22. because they did not believe in Godand did not trust his saving power.
23. Yet he commanded the skies aboveand opened the doors of heaven,
24. and he rained down on them manna to eatand gave them the grain of heaven.
25. Man ate of the bread of the angels;he sent them food in abundance.
26. He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,and by his power he led out the south wind;
27. he rained meat on them like dust,winged birds like the sand of the seas;
28. he let them fall in the midst of their camp,all around their dwellings.
29. And they ate and were well filled,for he gave them what they craved.
30. But before they had satisfied their craving, while the food was still in their mouths,
31. the anger of God rose against them,and he killed the strongest of themand laid low the young men of Israel.
32. In spite of all this, they still sinned; despite his wonders, they did not believe.
