21
Therefore the L
ORD
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.
38
But he,
being
full of compassion, forgave
their
iniquity, and destroyed
them
not: yea,
many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39
For he remembered that they
were but
flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not
again.
40
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness,
and
grieve him in the desert!
41
Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
42
They remembered not his hand,
nor
the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
43
How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
44
And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
45
He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed
them.
46
He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
47
He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
48
He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by
sending evil angels
among them.
