9 God scolded the Reed Sea, and it dried right up;he led them through the deeps like they were a dry desert.
10 God saved them from hostile powers;he redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11 But the waters covered over their foes—not one of them survived!
12 So our ancestors trusted God’s words;they sang God’s praise.
13 But how quickly they forgot what he had done!They wouldn’t wait for his advice.
14 They were overcome with craving in the desert;they tested God in the wastelands.
15 God gave them what they asked for;he sent food to satisfy their appetites.
