Al-Baqarah 57-61

And We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, [saying], “Eat from the good things with which We have provided you.” And they wronged Us not – but they were [only] wronging themselves.
And when We said, “Enter this city [Jerusalem] and eat from it wherever you will in abundance, and enter the gate prostrating and say, ‘Relieve us of our burdens [sins].’ We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good [in reward].” But those who wronged changed [those words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them, so We sent down upon those who wronged a punishment from the sky because they were defiantly disobeying.
And when Musa prayed for water for his people, so We said, “Strike the stone with your staff.” And there gushed forth from it twelve springs, and every people [tribe] knew its drinking place. “Eat and drink from the provision of Allah, and do not act wickedly on the earth, spreading corruption.” And when you said, “O Musa, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us out of what grows on the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions.” [Musa] said, “Would you exchange what is better for what is inferior? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked.” And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because they disbelieved in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.
