27. He rained down meat as thick as dust—birds as plentiful as the sand on the seashore!
28. He caused the birds to fall within their campand all around their tents.
29. The people ate their fill.He gave them what they craved.
30. But before they satisfied their craving,while the meat was yet in their mouths,
31. the anger of God rose against them,and he killed their strongest men.He struck down the finest of Israel’s young men.
32. But in spite of this, the people kept sinning.Despite his wonders, they refused to trust him.
33. So he ended their lives in failure,their years in terror.
34. When God began killing them,they finally sought him.They repented and took God seriously.
35. Then they remembered that God was their rock,that God Most High was their redeemer.
36. But all they gave him was lip service;they lied to him with their tongues.
