Psalms 78:26-37

26He 1caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His 2power He directed the south wind.27When He rained 3meat upon them like the dust, Even 4winged fowl like the sand of the seas,28Then He let them fall in the midst of 5their camp, Round about their dwellings.29So they 6ate and were well filled, And their desire He gave to them.30 7Before they had satisfied their desire, 8While their food was in their mouths,31The 9anger of God rose against them And killed 10some of their 11stoutest ones, And 12subdued the choice men of Israel.32In spite of all this they 13still sinned And 14did not believe in His wonderful works.33So He brought 15their days to an end in 16futility And their years in sudden terror.

34When He killed them, then they 17sought Him, And returned and searched 18diligently for God;35And they remembered that God was their 19rock, And the Most High God their 20Redeemer.36But they 21deceived Him with their mouth And 22lied to Him with their tongue.37For their heart was not 23steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
