    12Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.

    13But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

    14But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.

    15Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;

    16Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

    18Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;

    19Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.

    20Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.

    Open

    13They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

    14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

    15And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

    16They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord.

    17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

    18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

    19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

    20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

    21They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

    22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

    23Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

    24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

    25But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.

    26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

    27To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

    28They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

    29Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

  16. Psalms 78:17–42Rank 16 from verse 18
    Open

    17And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

    18And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

    19Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

    20Behold, 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?

    21Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

    22Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

    23Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

    24And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

    25Man did eat angels’ food: he sent them meat to the full.

    26He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

    27He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:

    28And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

    29So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;

    30They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,

    31The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

    32For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

    33Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

    34When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God.

    35And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

    36Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

    37For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

    38But 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.

    39For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

    40How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

    41Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

    42They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

    10Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

    11Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

    1MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

    2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

    3And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

    4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

    5But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

    6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

    7Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

    8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

    9Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

    10Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
