Psalms 78:17-31

17And they sinnedH2398 yet moreH3254 against him by provokingH4784 the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723.

18And they temptedH5254 GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592 meatH400 for their lustH5315.

19Yea, they spakeH1696 against GodH430; they saidH559, CanH3201 GodH410 furnishH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057?1

20Behold, he smoteH5221 the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100, and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857; canH3201 he giveH5414 breadH3899 also? canH3201 he provideH3559 fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?

21Therefore YhwhH3068 heardH8085 this, and was wrothH5674: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927 against IsraelH3478;

22Because they believedH539 not in GodH430, and trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444:

23Though he had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064,

24And had rained downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, and had givenH5414 them of the grainH1715 of heavenH8064.

25ManH376 did eatH398 angels’H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971 them meatH6720 to the fullH7648.2

26He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486.3

27He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220:4

28And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908.

29So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;

30They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,

31The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478.56
