13He divided the sea and led them across it; he made the waters to stand like walls.
14In the daytime he led them with a cloud and all the night with the light of fire.
15He split the rocks in the wilderness, and he gave them water abundantly, enough to fill the depths of the sea.
16He made streams flow out of the rock and made the water flow like rivers.
17Yet they continued to sin against him, rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
18They challenged God in their hearts by asking for food to satisfy their appetites.
19They spoke against God; they said, “Can God really lay out a table for us in the wilderness?
20See, when he struck the rock, waters gushed out and streams overflowed. But can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”
21When Yahweh heard this, he was angry; so his fire burned against Jacob, and his anger attacked Israel,
22because they did not believe in God and did not trust in his salvation.
23Yet he commanded the skies above and opened the doors of the sky.
24He rained down manna for them to eat, and gave them the grain from heaven.
25People ate the bread of angels. He sent them food in abundance.
26He caused the east wind to blow in the sky, and by his power he guided the south wind.
27He rained down meat on them like dust, birds as numerous as the sands of the sea.
28They fell in the middle of their camp, all around their tents.
29So they ate and were full. He gave them what they craved.
30But they had not yet filled up; their food was still in their mouths.
31Then God's anger attacked them and killed the strongest of them. He brought down the young men of Israel.
32Despite this, they continued to sin and did not believe his wonderful deeds.
33Therefore God cut short their days; their years were filled with terror.
34Whenever God afflicted them, they would start to seek him, and they would return and look earnestly for him.
35They would call to mind that God was their rock and that the Most High God was their rescuer.
36But they would flatter him with their mouth and lie to him with their words.
37For their hearts were not firmly fixed on him, and they were not faithful to his covenant.
38Yet he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. Yes, many times he held back his anger and did not stir up all his wrath.
39He called to mind that they were made of flesh, a wind that passes away and does not return.
40How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the barren regions!
41Again and again they challenged God and offended the Holy One of Israel.
42They did not think about his power, how he had rescued them from the enemy
43when he performed his terrifying signs in Egypt and his wonders in the region of Zoan.
44He turned the Egyptians' rivers to blood so that they could not drink from their streams.
45He sent swarms of flies that devoured them and frogs that overran their land.
46He gave their crops to the grasshopper and their labor to the locust.
47He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with more hail.
48He rained hail on their cattle and hurled lightning bolts at their livestock.
49The fierceness of his anger lashed out against them. He sent wrath, fury, and trouble like agents who bring disaster.
50He leveled a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death but gave them over to the plague.
51He killed all the firstborn in Egypt, the firstborn of their strength in the tents of Ham.
52He led his own people out like sheep and guided them through the wilderness like a flock.
53He led them secure and unafraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54Then he brought them to the border of his holy land, to this mountain that his right hand acquired.
55He drove out the nations from before them and assigned them their inheritance. He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
56Yet they challenged and defied the Most High God and did not keep his solemn commands.
57They were unfaithful and acted treacherously like their fathers; they were as undependable as a faulty bow.
58For they made him angry with their high places and provoked him to jealous anger with their idols.
59When God heard this, he was angry and completely rejected Israel.
60He abandoned the sanctuary of Shiloh, the tent where he had lived among people.
