It had bin better for vs to haue serued the Egyptians, then to die in this wildernesse. 19Then had I pity vpon your mournings, and gaue you Manna to eat, so ye did eate Angels bread. 20When ye were thirstie, did I not cleaue the rocke, and waters flowed out to your fill? for the heate I couered you with the leaues of the trees.
