Ps 78:19 Then they spoke against God; They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
Ps 78:20 "Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He give bread also? Will He provide meat for His people?"
Ps 78:21 ¶ Therefore the LORD heard and was full of wrath; And a fire was kindled against Jacob And anger also mounted against Israel,
Ps 78:22 Because they did not believe in God And did not trust in His salvation.
Ps 78:23 Yet He commanded the clouds above And opened the doors of heaven;
Ps 78:24 He rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them food from heaven.
Ps 78:25 Man did eat the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.
Ps 78:27 When He rained meat upon them like the dust, Even winged fowl like the sand of the seas,
Ps 78:28 Then He let them fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their dwellings.
Ps 78:29 So they ate and were well filled, And their desire He gave to them.
Ps 78:30 Before they had satisfied their desire, While their food was in their mouths,
Ps 78:31 The anger of God rose against them And killed some of their stoutest ones, And subdued the choice men of Israel.
Ps 78:32 In spite of all this they still sinned And did not believe in His wonderful works.
Ps 78:33 So He brought their days to an end in futility And their years in sudden terror.
Ps 78:34 ¶ When He killed them, then they sought Him, And returned and searched diligently for God;
Ps 78:35 And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their Redeemer.
Ps 78:36 But they deceived Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.
Ps 78:37 For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
Ps 78:38 But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; And often He restrained His anger And did not arouse all His wrath.
Ps 78:39 Thus He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes and does not return.
