8 They would be differentfrom their ancestors,who were stubborn, rebellious,and unfaithful to God.
9 The warriors from Ephraimwere armed with arrows,but they ran awaywhen the battle began.
10 They broke their agreementwith God,and they turned their backson his teaching.
11 They forgot all he had done,even the mighty miracles
12 he did for their ancestorsnear Zoan in Egypt.
13 God made a path in the seaand piled up the wateras he led them across.
14 He guided them during the daywith a cloud,and each night he led themwith a flaming fire.
