Wisdom 16:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² But in contrast to this punishment, you treated your people with kindness,
    sending them quail to eat,
    a rare delicacy to satisfy their hunger.
³ Thus, the idolaters, repulsed by the sight of loathsome creatures^[a] sent to plague them,
    lost their appetite even though suffering from hunger,
while your own people, after a short period of privation,
    partook with pleasure of rare delicacies.
⁴ For these idolaters necessarily had to be afflicted with inexorable want,
    sufficient to indicate to your people how their enemies were being tormented.
