9. The sons of Ephraim, who nor bowsnor other arms did lack,When as the day of battle was,they faintly turned back.
10. They brake God's cov'nant,and refus'd in his commands to go;
11. His works and wonders they forgot,which he to them did show.
12. Things marvellous he brought to pass;their fathers them beheldWithin the land of Egypt done,yea, ev'n in Zoan's field.
13. By him divided was the sea,he caus'd them through to pass;And made the waters so to stand,as like an heap it was.
14. With cloud by day, with light of fireall night, he did them guide.
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.
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.
