In the daytime also He led them with the cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.
15
He split the rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink in abundance like the depths.
16
He also brought streams out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.
17
But they sinned even more against Him By rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
18
And they tested God in their heart By asking for the food of their fancy.
19
Yes, they spoke against God: They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20
Behold, He struck the rock, So that the waters gushed out, And the streams overflowed. Can He give bread also? Can He provide meat for His people?"
21
Therefore the Lord heard this and was furious; So a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also came up against Israel,
22
Because they did not believe in God, And did not trust in His salvation.
23
Yet He had commanded the clouds above, And opened the doors of heaven,
24
Had rained down manna on them to eat, And given them of the bread of heaven.
