Psalm 78:18–31

¹⁸And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their lust.

¹⁹And they speak against God—they said: ‘Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?’

²⁰Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. ‘Also—bread is He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?’

²¹Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,

²²For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.

²³And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.

²⁴And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them.

²⁵Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.

²⁶He causeth an east wind to journey in the heavens, And leadeth by His strength a south wind,

²⁷And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas—winged fowl,

²⁸And causeth it to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles.

²⁹And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them.

³⁰They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet is their food in their mouth,

³¹And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.
