15 Behold, he smote the rock and thence 19 In heav'n he made the east wind blow, Came streams of water great; But can he give his people bread And send them flesh to eat? 16 Jehovah heard, his wrath arose On Jacob, yea, on Israel The south wind owned his hand. 20 He let it fall amid their camp And all their lust supplied, So they did eat and well were filled; 21 They from their lust were not estranged; The wrath of God against them rose, 22 But still they sinned, nor yet believed 27 For he remembered that they were His wondrous works and ways. With terror he consumed their years, In vanity their days. But dust and mortal men, A breath that passeth soon away And cometh not again. 23 But when he slew them then they did 28 How oft they grieved him in the wilds;; 25 Yet with their mouth they flattered him 30 How he in Egypt wonders wrought And with their tongue they lied; 26 But their perverseness he forgave, 32 He killed their tender vines with hail, 34 Their sycamores with frost; [bolts, He smote their flocks with thunder Mid hail their herds were lost.
