Psalms 78:25-38

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.

33He made their days end in futility, their years in sudden disaster.

34When he killed some of them, the rest began to seek him; they repented and searched for God.

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

36But they deceived him with their mouths, they lied to him with their tongues,

37their hearts were insincere toward him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

38Yet he was compassionate; he atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often turned his anger aside and did not unleash all his wrath.
