16 He made streams gush outlike rivers from rocks.
17 But in the desert,the people of God Most Highkept sinning and rebelling.
18 They stubbornly tested Godand demanded from himwhat they wanted to eat.
19 They challenged God by saying,“Can God provide foodout here in the desert?
20 It's true God struck the rockand water gushed outlike a river,but can he give his peoplebread and meat?”
21 When the Lord heard this,he was angry and furiouswith Jacob's descendants,the people of Israel.
22 They had refused to trust him,and they had doubtedhis saving power.
