16. He brought forth streams also from the rock And caused waters to run down like rivers.
17. Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
18. And in their heart they put God to the test By asking food according to their desire.
19. Then they spoke against God; They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20. "Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He give bread also? Will He provide meat for His people?"
21. Therefore the Lord heard and was full of wrath; And a fire was kindled against Jacob And anger also mounted against Israel,
22. Because they did not believe in God And did not trust in His salvation.
23. Yet He commanded the clouds above And opened the doors of heaven;
24. He rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them food from heaven.
25. Man did eat the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.
26. He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His power He directed the south wind.
27. When He rained meat upon them like the dust, Even winged fowl like the sand of the seas,
28. Then He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their dwellings.
29. So they ate and were well filled, And their desire He gave to them.
30. Before they had satisfied their desire, While their food was in their mouths,
31. The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their stoutest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel.
32. In spite of all this they still sinned And did not believe in His wonderful works.
33. So He brought their days to an end in futility And their years in sudden terror.
