6that the next generation should know it, that the children yet to be born should arise and tell their children;
7that in God they might put their confidence, and not forget God's works; but that they might keep his commandments,
8and not be like their ancestors, a generation defiant and stubborn, a generation with heart unsteady, and spirit unfaithful towards God.
9Ephraimites, armed bowmen, turned back in the day of battle.
10They did not keep God's covenant, they refused to walk in his law.
11They forgot what he had done, and the wonders he had shown them.
12He did wonders before their ancestors in the country of Zoan in Egypt.
13Through the sea which he split he brought them, making waters stand up like a heap;
14he led them by day with a cloud, all the night with a light of fire.
15From the rocks which he split in the wilderness, he gave them to drink as of ocean's abundance.
16He brought streams out of the rock, and made water run down like rivers.
17Yet they still went on sinning against him, they defied the Most High in the desert.
18They willfully challenged God, demanding the food that they longed for.
19“Is God able,” such was their challenge, “to spread in the desert a table?
20From the rock that he struck there gushed water, and torrents that overflowed; but can he also give bread, or provide his people with meat?”
21When the Lord heard this, he was furious, and fire was kindled on Jacob, anger flared up against Israel.
22For they put no trust in God, no confidence in his help.
23So he summoned the clouds above; and, opening the doors of heaven,
24he rained manna upon them for food, and grain of heaven he gave them.
