17 He brought waters out of the stony rocke, so that they gusshed out like the ryuers.
18 Yet for all this they synned agaynst him, and prouoked the most hyest in the wildernesse.
19 They tempted God in their hertes, and requyred meate for their lust,
20 For they spake agaynst God and sayde: Yee yee, God shal prepare a table in the wyldernesse, shall he?
21 Lo, he smote the stony rocke, that the watery streames gusshed out, and the streames flowed withall: but how can he geue bred and prouyde flesh for his people?
22 When the LORDE herde this, he was wroth: so the fyre was kyndled in Iacob, and heuy displeasure agaynst Israel.
23 Because they beleued not in God, and put not their trust in his helpe.
24 So he commauded the cloudes aboue, and opened the dores of heauen.
25 He rayned downe Manna vpo them for to eate, and gaue them bred from heauen.
26 Then ate they angels fode, for he sent them meate ynough.
27 He caused the east wynde to blowe vnder the heauen, and thorow his power he brought in the south wynde.
28 He made flesh to rayne vpon them as thicke as dust, and fethered foules like the sonde of ye see.
29 He let it fall amoge their tetes roude aboute their habitacios.
30 So they ate & were fylled, for he gaue them their owne desyre. They were not dispoynted of their lust.
31 But whyle ye meate was yet in theyr mouthes: The heuy wrath of God came vpo the, slewe ye welthiest of the, & smote downe ye chosen men of Israel.
32 But for all this they synned yet more, and beleued not his woderous workes.
33 Therfore their dayes were consumed in vanite, and sodenly their yeares were gone.
34 When he slewe them, they sought him, and turned them early vnto God.
35 They thought then that God was their socoure, and that the hye God was their redemer.
36 Neuerthelesse, they dyd but flater him in their mouthes, and dissembled with him in their tonges.
37 For their herte was not whole with him, nether continued they in his couenaunt.
38 But he was so mercifull, that he forgaue their mysdedes, and destroyed them not:
39 Yee many a tyme turned he his wrath awaye, and wolde not suffre his whole displeasure to aryse.
40 For he considered yt they were but flesh: euen a wynde that passeth awaye, and commeth not agayne.
41 O how oft haue they greued him in the wildernesse? How many a tyme haue they prouoked him in the deserte?
42 They turned backe & tempted God, and moued the holy one in Israel.
