20. Behold, He struck the rock, so that the waters gushed outand the streams overflowed.Can He give breador provide meat for His people?”
21. Therefore the Lord heard this and was full of wrath;a fire was kindled against Jacob,and anger also came up against Israel,
22. because they did not believe in Godnor trust in His deliverance.
23. Yet He had commanded the skies aboveand opened the doors of heaven,
24. and He rained down manna upon them to eatand gave them the grain of heaven.
25. Man ate the food of mighty angels;He sent them bread in abundance.
26. He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens,and by His power He brought out a south wind.
27. He rained meat on them as dust,and winged birds as the sand of the sea;
28. and He let them fall in the midst of their campall around their habitations.
29. So they ate and were satisfied,for He gave them their own desire;
30. while they were not yet filled up,and while the meat was still in their mouths,
31. the wrath of God came upon them,and He killed the strongest of themand struck down the young men of Israel.
32. For all this they sinned still,and did not believe despite His wondrous works.
33. Therefore He made their days vanish like a breath,and their years in trouble.
34. When He killed them, then they sought Him;they turned back and longed for God.
35. They remembered that God was their rock,and the Most High God their redeemer.
