Numbers 11:6-9

See how wretched a state the mind of man is capable of being reduced to by sin! To speak lightly and contemptuously of angel's food, which fell around their tents, without labour on their part to procure, and without pains to gather. Is there not a spiritual illustration of this passage? May we not be said to be lusting after the flesh pots in Egypt, and thinking slightly of heavenly food, when we prefer anything that is our own by nature, to the sweet gifts and graces which are alone in CHRIST JESUS, the heavenly bread, which came down from heaven? Joh_6:28-36; Joh_6:48-60.
