15. God split rocks open in the wilderness,gave them plenty to drink—as if from the deep itself!
16. God made streams flow from the rock,made water run like rivers.
17. But they continued to sin against God,rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18. They tested God in their hearts,demanded food for their stomachs.
19. They spoke against God!"Can God set a dinner table in the wilderness?" they asked.
20. "True, God struck the rockand water gushed and streams flowed,but can he give bread too?Can he provide meat for his people?"
21. When the Lord heard this, he became furious.A fire was ignited against Jacob;wrath also burned against Israel
22. because they had no faith in God,because they didn’t trust his saving power.
