77:9. The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have turned back in the day of battle. 77:10. They kept not the covenant of God: and in his law they would not walk. 77:11. And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shewn them. 77:12. Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis. 77:13. He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel. 77:14. And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire. 77:15. He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep. 77:16. He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers. 77:17. And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water. 77:18. And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires. 77:19. And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 77:20. Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people? 77:21. Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel. 77:22. Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation. 77:23. And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven. 77:24. And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven. 77:25. Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance. 77:26. He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind. 77:27. And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea. 77:28. And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions. 77:29. So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire: 77:30. they were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth: 77:31. And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel. 77:32. In all these things they sinned still: and they behaved not for his wondrous works. 77:33. And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste. 77:34. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning. 77:35. And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer. 77:36. And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him: 77:37. But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant. 77:38. But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath.
