- The sons of Ephraim were archers equipped with bows, Yet they turned back in the day of battle.
- They did not keep the covenant of God And refused to walk in His law;
- They forgot His deeds And His miracles that He had shown them.
- He wrought wonders before their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
- He divided the sea and caused them to pass through, And He made the waters stand up like a heap.
|
- Then He led them with the cloud by day And all the night with a light of fire.
- He split the rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths.
- He brought forth streams also from the rock And caused waters to run down like rivers.
- Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
- And in their heart they put God to the test By asking food according to their desire.
|
- Then they spoke against God; They said, "Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
- "Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He give bread also? Will He provide meat for His people?"
- Therefore the LORD heard and was full of wrath; And a fire was kindled against Jacob And anger also mounted against Israel,
- Because they did not believe in God And did not trust in His salvation.
