Will he provide flesh for his people? <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel; <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven; <\/br><strong>24<\/strong> And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven. <\/br><strong>25<\/strong> Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full. <\/br><strong>26<\/strong> He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind. <\/br><strong>27<\/strong> He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas: <\/br><strong>28<\/strong> And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations. <\/br><strong>29<\/strong> So they did eat, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire. <\/br><strong>30<\/strong> They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths, <\/br><strong>31<\/strong> When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel. <\/br><strong>32<\/strong> For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works. <\/br><strong>33<\/strong> Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror. <\/br><strong>34<\/strong> When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly. <\/br><strong>35<\/strong> And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer. <\/br><strong>36<\/strong> But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue. <\/br><strong>37<\/strong> For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant. <\/br><strong>38<\/strong> But he, being merciful, forgave `their&#8217; iniquity, and destroyed `them&#8217; not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath. <\/br><strong>39<\/strong> And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. <\/br><strong>40<\/strong> How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert! <\/br><strong>41<\/strong> And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel. <\/br><strong>42<\/strong> They remember not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary; <\/br><strong>43<\/strong> How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan, <\/br><strong>44<\/strong> And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink. <\/br><strong>45<\/strong> He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them. <\/br><strong>46<\/strong> He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust. <\/br><strong>47<\/strong> He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost. <\/br><strong>48<\/strong> He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts. <\/br><strong>49<\/strong> He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil. <\/br><strong>50<\/strong> He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence, <\/br><strong>51<\/strong> And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham. <\/br><strong>52<\/strong> But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock. <\/br><strong>53<\/strong> And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies. <\/br><strong>54<\/strong> And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten. <\/br><strong>55<\/strong> He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. <\/br><strong>56<\/strong> Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies; <\/br><strong>57<\/strong> But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. <\/br><strong>58<\/strong> For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images. <\/br><strong>59<\/strong> When God heard `this&#8217;, he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel; <\/br><strong>60<\/strong> So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men; <\/br><strong>61<\/strong> And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary&#8217;s hand. <\/br><strong>62<\/strong> He gave his people over also unto the sword, And was wroth with his inheritance. <\/br><strong>63<\/strong> Fire devoured their young men; And their virgins had no marriage-song. <\/br><strong>64<\/strong> Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation. <\/br><strong>65<\/strong> Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. <\/br><strong>66<\/strong> And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach. <\/br><strong>67<\/strong> Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim, <\/br><strong>68<\/strong> But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved. <\/br><strong>69<\/strong> And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever. <\/br><strong>70<\/strong> He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds: <\/br><strong>71<\/strong> From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. <\/br><strong>72<\/strong> So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
