40 While they were in the desert,they often rebelledand made God sad.
41 They kept testing himand caused terrible painfor the Holy One of Israel.
42 They forgot about his powerand how he had rescued themfrom their enemies.
43 God showed them all kindsof wonderful miraclesnear Zoan in Egypt.
44 He turned the rivers of Egyptinto blood,and no one could drinkfrom the streams.
45 He sent swarms of fliesto pester the Egyptians,and he sent frogsto cause them trouble.
