God

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

They envied Moses also in the camp, AndAaron the saint of Jehovah.

They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroythem.

Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,

He led them also by a straight way, That they might go to a city of habitation.

Oh that men would praise Jehovah for his lovingkindness, And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

For he satisfieth the longing soul, And the hungry soul he filleth with good.

Because they rebelled against the words of God, And contemned the counsel of the Most High:
