¹⁴ But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

⁹ Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents.

⁶ Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

⁴ And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

² Wherefore the people stove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? Wherefore do ye tempt Jehovah?

⁸ Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

⁹ Where your fathers tried `me' by proving `me,' And saw my works forty years.

¹⁰ Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;

⁸ Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;

⁹ When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work.

⁴⁰ How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!

⁴¹ And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

³⁰ They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

²² And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.

²² because all those men that have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

³³ While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.

³⁴ And the name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted.
