Psalms 78:18-37
-
18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
-
19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
-
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
-
21 Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
-
22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
-
23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
-
24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
-
25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
-
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.
-
34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
-
35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
-
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
-
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
