God's Wonderful Works He Has Shown

11 God’s wonderful works to them he had shown, 12 marvelous deeds those before had known; 13 he made for their pathway the waters divide, 14 his glorious pillar of cloud was their guide. 15 He gave them to drink, relieving their thirst, 16 and forth from the rock caused water to burst; 17 yet faithless they tempted their God, and they said, 18-20 “Can he who gave water supply us with bread?” 21 God’s rage was kindled because they forgot 22 to hope in their God, and trusted him not; 23 yet gracious, he opened the doors of the sky 24 and rained down the manna in richest supply. 25 With bread from on high their need he supplied, and more did he do when thankless they sighed; 26 the strong winds commanding from south and from east 27-28 he sent them abundance of quail for their feast. 29 Though well they were filled, their folly they chose; 30 till God in his wrath o’erwhelmed them with woes; 31 he slew of their strongest and smote their young men, 32-33 but still unbelieving they sinned even then. 34 Because of their sin he smote with his rod, 35 and then they returned and sought for their God; their rock and redeemer was God the Most high, 36 yet false were their praises, their promise a lie.
