Psalm 78:18–31

¹⁸And they tempted God in their heart

By asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹Yea, they spake against God;

They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out,

And streams overflowed;

Can he give bread also?

Will he provide flesh for his people?

²¹Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth;

And a fire was kindled against Jacob,

And anger also went up against Israel;

²²Because they believed not in God,

And trusted not in his salvation.

²³Yet he commanded the skies above,

And opened the doors of heaven;

²⁴And he rained down manna upon them to eat,

And gave them food from heaven.

²⁵Man did eat the bread of the mighty:

He sent them food to the full.

²⁶He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens;

And by his power he guided the south wind.

²⁷He rained flesh also upon them as the dust,

And winged birds as the sand of the seas:

²⁸And he let it fall in the midst of their camp,

Round about their habitations.

²⁹So they did eat, and were well filled;

And he gave them their own desire.

³⁰They were not estranged from that which they desired,

Their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹When the anger of God went up against them,

And slew of the fattest of them,

And smote down the young men of Israel.
