Psalms 78:21

Israel

19 They spoke against God, saying, “Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?

20 When He struck the rock, water gushed out and torrents raged. But can He also give bread or supply His people with meat?”

Therefore the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared against Israel,

22 because they did not believe God or rely on His salvation.

23 Yet He commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of the heavens.
