Psalms 78:10-32

10They did not keep God’s covenant and refused to live by his law.

11They forgot what he had done, the wondrous works he had shown them.

12He worked wonders in the sight of their ancestors in the land of Egypt, the territory of Zoan.

13He split the sea and brought them across; the water stood firm like a wall.

14He led them with a cloud by day and with a fiery light throughout the night.

15He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.

16He brought streams out of the stone and made water flow down like rivers.

17But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.

18They deliberately tested God, demanding the food they craved.

19They spoke against God, saying, “Is God able to provide food in the wilderness?

20Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out; torrents overflowed. But can he also provide bread or furnish meat for his people?”

21Therefore, the Lord heard and became furious; then fire broke out against Jacob, and anger flared up against Israel

22because they did not believe God or rely on his salvation.

23He gave a command to the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven.

24He rained manna for them to eat; he gave them grain from heaven.

25People ate the bread of angels. He sent them an abundant supply of food.

26He made the east wind blow in the skies and drove the south wind by his might.

27He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the seas.

28He made them fall in the camp, all around the tents.

29The people ate and were completely satisfied, for he gave them what they craved.

30Before they had turned from what they craved, while the food was still in their mouths,

31God’s anger flared up against them, and he killed some of their best men. He struck down Israel’s fit young men.

32Despite all this, they kept sinning and did not believe his wondrous works.
