26 He let loose the east wind from the heavens

and by his power made the south wind blow.

27 He rained meat down on them like dust,

birds like sand on the seashore.

28 He made them come down inside their camp,

all around their tents.

29 They ate till they were gorged—

he had given them what they craved.

30 But before they turned from what they craved,

even while the food was still in their mouths,

31 God’s anger rose against them;

he put to death the sturdiest among them,

cutting down the young men of Israel.

32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;

in spite of his wonders, they did not believe.

33 So he ended their days in futility

and their years in terror.

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

and by his power he led out the south wind;

27 he rained meat on them like dust,

winged birds like the sand of the seas;

28 he let them fall in the midst of their camp,

all around their dwellings.

29 And they ate and were well filled,

for he gave them what they craved.

30 But before they had satisfied their craving,

while the food was still in their mouths,

31 the anger of God rose against them,

and he killed the strongest of them

and laid low the young men of Israel.

32 In spite of all this, they still sinned;

despite his wonders, they did not believe.

33 So he made their days vanish like a breath,

and their years in terror.

26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven:

And by his power he brought in the south wind.

27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust,

And feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

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

Round about their habitations.

29 So they did eat, and were well filled:

For he gave them their own desire;

30 They were not estranged from their lust.

But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

31 The wrath of God came upon them,

And slew the fattest of them,

And smote down the chosen men of Israel.

32 For all this they sinned still,

And believed not for his wondrous works.

33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity,

And their years in trouble.

26 He released the east wind in the heavens

and guided the south wind by his mighty power.

27 He rained down meat as thick as dust—

birds as plentiful as the sand on the seashore!

28 He caused the birds to fall within their camp

and all around their tents.

29 The people ate their fill.

He gave them what they craved.

30 But before they satisfied their craving,

while the meat was yet in their mouths,

31 the anger of God rose against them,

and he killed their strongest men.

He struck down the finest of Israel’s young men.

32 But in spite of this, the people kept sinning.

Despite his wonders, they refused to trust him.

33 So he ended their lives in failure,

their years in terror.

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

And by His power He brought in the south wind.

27 He also rained meat on them like the dust,

Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;

28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp,

All around their dwellings.

29 So they ate and were well filled,

For He gave them their own desire.

30 They were not deprived of their craving;

But while their food was still in their mouths,

31 The wrath of God came against them,

And slew the stoutest of them,

And struck down the choice men of Israel.

32 In spite of this they still sinned,

And did not believe in His wondrous works.

33 Therefore their days He consumed in futility,

And their years in fear.

26 He sent the east wind from heaven

and led the south wind by his power.

27 He rained meat on them like dust.

The birds were as many as the sand of the sea.

28 He made the birds fall inside the camp,

all around the tents.

29 So the people ate and became very full.

God had given them what they wanted.

30 While they were still eating,

and while the food was still in their mouths,

31 God became angry with them.

He killed some of the healthiest of them;

he struck down the best young men of Israel.

32 But they kept on sinning;

they did not believe even with the miracles.

33 So he ended their days without meaning

and their years in terror.

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

And by his power he guided the south wind.

27 He rained flesh also upon them as the dust,

And winged birds as the sand of the seas:

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

Round about their habitations.

29 So they did eat, and were well filled;

And he gave them their own desire.

30 They were not estranged from that which they desired,

Their food was yet in their mouths,

31 When the anger of God went up against them,

And slew of the fattest of them,

And smote down the young men of Israel.

32 For all this they sinned still,

And believed not in his wondrous works.

33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity,

And their years in terror.

26 He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind; 27 And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas, 28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations: 29 And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them. 30 They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths, 31 When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 32 For all this, they sinned still, and believed not in his marvellous works; 33 And he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

26 He made the east wind blow in the heavens 

and guided the south wind with his might. 

27 He rained meat down on them like dust, 

birds like the sand on the seashore. 

28 He made the birds fall in the middle of his camp, 

all around his dwelling place. 

29 They ate more than enough. 

He gave them what they wanted, 

30 but they still wanted more. 

While the food was still in their mouths, 

31 the anger of God flared up against them. 

He killed their strongest men 

and slaughtered the best young men in Israel. 

32 In spite of all this, they continued to sin, 

and they no longer believed in his miracles. 

33 He brought their days to an end like a whisper in the wind. 

He brought their years to an end in terror. 

26 He made the east wind blow in the skies

and drove the south wind by His might.

27 He rained meat on them like dust,

and winged birds like the sand of the seas.

28 He made them fall in His camp,

all around His tent.

29 They ate and were completely satisfied,

for He gave them what they craved.

30 Before they had satisfied their desire,

while the food was still in their mouths,

31 God’s anger flared up against them,

and He killed some of their best men.

He struck down Israel’s choice young men.

32 Despite all this, they kept sinning

and did not believe His wonderful works.

33 He made their days end in futility,

their years in sudden disaster.

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

and by his power he led out the south wind;

27 he rained flesh upon them like dust,

winged birds like the sand of the seas;

28 he let them fall within their camp,

all around their dwellings.

29 And they ate and were well filled,

for he gave them what they craved.

30 But before they had satisfied their craving,

while the food was still in their mouths,

31 the anger of God rose against them

and he killed the strongest of them,

and laid low the flower of Israel.

32 In spite of all this they still sinned;

they did not believe in his wonders.

33 So he made their days vanish like a breath,

and their years in terror.

26 He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens

and drove along the south wind by his strength.

27 Then he rained meat on them like dust,

even winged birds like the sand of the seas.

28 He caused them to fall in the midst of his camp,

all around his dwellings.

29 So they ate and were well filled,

and he brought about what they craved.

30 They had not yet turned aside from their craving,

while their food was still in their mouth,

31 the anger of God rose against them,

and he killed some of the stoutest of them,

even the young men of Israel he caused to bow down in death.

32 In spite of all this they sinned further

and did not believe his wonders.

33 And he consumed their days with futility

their years with terror.

26 He made the east wind blow from the heavens.

By his power he caused the south wind to blow.

27 He rained meat down on them like dust.

He sent them birds like sand on the seashore.

28 He made the birds come down inside their camp.

The birds fell all around their tents.

29 People ate until they had more than enough.

He gave them what they had longed for.

30 But even before they had finished eating, God acted.

He did it while the food was still in their mouths.

31 His anger rose up against them.

He put to death the strongest among them.

He struck down Israel’s young men.

32 But even after all that, they kept on sinning.

Even after they had seen the miracles he did, they still didn’t believe.

33 So he brought their days to an end like a puff of smoke.

He ended their years with terror.
