7That they might put their trust in God, And not forget his deeds, But keep his commandments;
8And might not be, like their forefathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation,—A generation whose heart was not fixed upon God, And whose spirit was not steadfast toward the Almighty.
9The children of Ephraim were like armed bowmen, Who turn their backs in the day of battle.
10They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;
11And forgot his mighty deeds, And the wonders he had shown them.
12Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; Yea, he made the waters to stand as a heap.
14By day he led them by a cloud, And all the night by a light of fire.
15He clave the rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink, as from the great deep.
16From the rock he brought flowing streams, And made water to run down like rivers.
17Yet still they sinned against him, And provoked the Most High in the desert.
18They tempted God in their hearts, By asking food for their delight.
19Yea, they spake against God, and said, “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?
20Behold! he smote the rock, and the water flowed, And streams gushed forth: Is he also able to give bread? Can he provide flesh for his people?”
21When, therefore, the LORD heard this, he was wroth: So a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger arose against Israel.
22Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his aid.
23Yet he had commanded the clouds above, And had opened the doors of heaven;
24And had rained down upon them manna for food, And had given them the corn of heaven.
25Every one ate the food of princes; He sent them bread to the full.
26Then he caused a strong wind to blow in the heavens, And by his power he brought a south wind;
27He rained down flesh upon them as dust, And feathered fowls as the sand of the sea.
