En la mañana verán la gloria del Señor, quien ha oído sus quejas contra él. Sí, contra él es que ustedes se están quejando, pues nosotros sólo somos sus representantes. El Señor les dará a comer carne en la tarde y pan abundante por la mañana. Él ya escuchó sus quejas, pues no es contra nosotros que ustedes se han quejado, sino contra él. ¡Nosotros no somos nadie!
