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.
26. And in the heaven he did causean eastern wind to blow;And by his power he let outthe southern wind to go.
27. Then flesh as thick as dust he madeto rain down them among;And feather'd fowls, like as the sandwhich li'th the shore along.
28. At his command amidst their campthese show'rs of flesh down fell,All round about the tabernaclesand tents where they did dwell.
29. So they did eat abundantly,and had of meat their fill;For he did give to them what wastheir own desire and will.
30. They from their lust had not estrang'dtheir heart and their desire;But while the meat was in their mouths,which they did so require,
31. God's wrath upon them came,and slew the fattest of them all;So that the choice of Israel,o'erthrown by death, did fall.
32. Yet, notwithstanding of all this,they sinned still the more;And though he had great wonders wrought,believ'd him not therefore:
33. Wherefore their days in vanityhe did consume and waste;And by his wrath their wretched yearsaway in trouble past.
34. But when he slew them, then they didto seek him shew desire;Yea, they return'd, and after Godright early did enquire.
35. And that the Lord had been their Rock,they did remember then;Ev'n that the high almighty Godhad their Redeemer been.
