27 These (A)all look to you,
    to (B)give them their food in due season.
28 When you give it to them, they gather it up;
    when you (C)open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you (D)hide your face, they are (E)dismayed;
    when you (F)take away their breath, they die
    and (G)return to their dust.
30 When you (H)send forth your Spirit,[a] they are created,
    and you (I)renew the face of the ground.

31 May the glory of the Lord (J)endure forever;
    may the Lord (K)rejoice in his works,
32 who looks on the earth and it (L)trembles,
    who (M)touches the mountains and they smoke!
33 I will sing to the Lord (N)as long as I live;
    I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my (O)meditation be pleasing to him,
    for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let (P)sinners be consumed from the earth,
    and let the wicked be no more!
(Q)Bless the Lord, O my soul!
(R)Praise the Lord!

  1. Psalm 104:30 Or breath

Now the (A)rabble that was among them had a strong craving. And the people of Israel also (B)wept again and said, (C)“Oh that we had meat to eat! (D)We remember the fish we ate in Egypt that cost nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. But now our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at.”

10 Moses heard the people (A)weeping throughout their clans, everyone at the door of his tent. And the anger of the Lord blazed hotly, and Moses was displeased. 11 (B)Moses said to the Lord, “Why have you dealt ill with your servant? And why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? 12 Did I conceive all this people? Did I give them birth, that you should say to me, (C)‘Carry them in your bosom, as a (D)nurse carries a nursing child,’ to the land (E)that you swore to give their fathers? 13 (F)Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me and say, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ 14 (G)I am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If you will treat me like this, kill me at once, if I find favor in your sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.”

Elders Appointed to Aid Moses

16 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for me (H)seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and (I)officers over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you.

24 So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord. (A)And he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tent. 25 Then (B)the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the Spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders. And as soon as the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied. But they did not continue doing it.

26 Now two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the Spirit rested on them. They were among those registered, but they (C)had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp. 27 And a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” 28 And (D)Joshua the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from his youth, said, “My lord Moses, (E)stop them.” 29 But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? (F)Would that all the Lord's people were prophets, that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!”

The Prayer of Faith

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him (A)sing praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, (B)anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And (C)if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore, (D)confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, (E)that you may be healed. (F)The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.[a] 17 Elijah was a man (G)with a nature like ours, and (H)he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for (I)three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18 (J)Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.

19 My brothers, (K)if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone (L)brings him back, 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering (M)will save his soul from death and (N)will cover a multitude of sins.
