Psalms 78:26-37

26He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His [unlimited] power He guided the south wind.

27He rained meat upon them like the dust, And winged birds (quail) like the sand of the seas.

28And He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Around their tents.

29So they ate and were well filled, He gave them what they craved.

30Before they had satisfied their desire, And while their food was in their mouths,

31The wrath of God rose against them And killed some of the strongest of them, And subdued the choice young men of Israel.

32In spite of all this they still sinned, For they did not believe in His wonderful and extraordinary works.

33Therefore He consumed their days like a breath [in emptiness and futility] And their years in sudden terror.

34When He killed [some of] them, then those remaining sought Him, And they returned [to Him] and searched diligently for God [for a time].

35And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their Redeemer.

36Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouths And lied to Him with their tongues.

37For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful to His covenant.
