- The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned back on the day of battle;
- they did not keep God's covenant and refused to live by his law.
- They forgot what he had done, the wonders he had shown them.
- He did miracles in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan.
- He divided the sea and led them through; he made the water stand firm like a wall.

- The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
- They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
- And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
- Marvellous things did he in the sight of 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 to stand as an heap.
|
- He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night.
- He split the rocks in the desert and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
- he brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.
- But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.
- They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved.
|
- In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
- He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
- He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
- And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
- And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
|
- They spoke against God, saying, "Can God spread a table in the desert?
- When he struck the rock, water gushed out, and streams flowed abundantly. But can he also give us food? Can he supply meat for his people?"
- When the LORD heard them, he was very angry; his fire broke out against Jacob, and his wrath rose against Israel,
- for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.
|
- Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
- Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
- Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
- Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
