PSALMS 78:9-20

⁹The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

¹⁰They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

¹¹And they forgat his doings, and his wondrous works that he had shewed them.

¹²Marvelous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

¹³He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

¹⁴In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

¹⁵He clave rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

¹⁶He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷Yet went they on still to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

¹⁹Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰Behold, he smote the rock, that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; can he give bread also? will he provide flesh for his people?
