15. In desert rocks he clave,and drink, as from great depths, supply'd.
16. He from the rock brought streams, like floodsmade waters to run down.
17. Yet sinning more, in desert theyprovok'd the Highest One.
18. For in their heart they tempted God,and, speaking with mistrust,They greedily did meat requireto satisfy their lust.
19. Against the Lord himself they spake,and, murmuring, said thus,A table in the wildernesscan God prepare for us?
20. Behold, he smote the rock, and thencecame streams and waters great;But can he give his people bread?and send them flesh to eat?
21. The Lord did hear, and waxed wroth;so kindled was a flame'Gainst Jacob, and 'gainst Israelup indignation came.
22. For they believ'd not God, nor trustin his salvation had;
23. Though clouds above he did command,and heav'n's doors open made,
24. And manna rain'd on them,and gave them corn of heav'n to eat.
25. Man angels' food did eat; to themhe to the full sent meat.
