17 Yet they still continued to sin against Him,
To (A)rebel against the Most High in the desert.
18 And in their heart they (B)put God to the test
By asking for (C)food [a]that suited their taste.
19 Then they spoke against God;
They said, “(D)Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, He (E)struck the rock so that waters gushed out,
And streams were overflowing;
Can He also provide bread?
Will He prepare (F)meat for His people?”

21 Therefore the Lord heard and [b]was (G)full of wrath;
And a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also mounted against Israel,
22 Because they (H)did not believe in God
And did not trust in His salvation.
23 Yet He commanded the clouds above
And (I)opened the doors of heaven;
24 He (J)rained down manna upon them to eat,
And gave them [c](K)food from heaven.
25 Man ate the bread of [d]angels;
He sent them [e]food [f](L)in abundance.
