26 (A)He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens;
And by His power He brought in the south wind.
27 He also rained meat on them like the dust,
Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;
28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp,
All around their dwellings.
29 (B)So they ate and were well filled,
For He gave them their own desire.
30 They were not [a]deprived of their craving;
But (C)while their food was still in their mouths,
31 The wrath of God came against them,
And slew the stoutest of them,
And struck down the choice men of Israel.

32 In spite of this (D)they still sinned,
And (E)did not believe in His wondrous works.
33 (F)Therefore their days He consumed in futility,
And their years in fear.

  1. Psalm 78:30 Lit. separated

26 He let loose the east wind(A) from the heavens
    and by his power made the south wind blow.
27 He rained meat down on them like dust,
    birds(B) like sand on the seashore.
28 He made them come down inside their camp,
    all around their tents.
29 They ate till they were gorged—(C)
    he had given them what they craved.
30 But before they turned from what they craved,
    even while the food was still in their mouths,(D)
31 God’s anger rose against them;
    he put to death the sturdiest(E) among them,
    cutting down the young men of Israel.

32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;(F)
    in spite of his wonders,(G) they did not believe.(H)
33 So he ended their days in futility(I)
    and their years in terror.
