Wisdom 16:20
New Catholic Bible

20 In contrast, you nourished your people with the food of angels,[a]
    and with no labor on their part, you supplied them with bread from heaven that was ready to eat,
    filled with every delight and pleasing to every taste.

Footnotes

  1. Wisdom 16:20 Food of angels: i.e., the manna (Ps 78:23-25), which tasted like a honey cake (Ex 16:31) and was a sign of God’s mercy (v. 21; Pss 34:8; 119:103). As the text shows, Jewish tradition had embellished the more sober text of Exodus (Ex 16:13-21). The Liturgy uses these texts with regard to the Eucharist.
