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.

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.

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.

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.
