19 Therefore, I felt sorry for your groans. I gave you manna, and you ate.
20 When you were thirsty, I split open the rock so that water flowed in abundance. Because of the hot sun, I created trees covered with leaves for you.
21 I gave you fertile lands. I drove out Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, and their children before you. What more can I do for you?! says the Lord.
22 The Lord says this: In the desert when you were thirsty at the bitter river and insulting my name,
23 I didn’t become angry. Instead, I cast wood into the water and made the river sweet.
24 What will I do to you, Jacob?Judah, you wouldn’t obey me.I will turn to another nationand give them my name.They will certainly keep my ordinances.
25 When those who abandoned mebeg for mercy,I won’t have mercy on them.
