14 I provided you with light from a pillar of fire and performed great miracles among you, but you have forgotten me. I, the Lord, have spoken.
15 “The Lord Almighty says: I sent you quails as a sign of my care for you. I provided you with camps where you could be safe, but all you did there was complain.
16 Even when I destroyed your enemies, you did not appreciate what I had done. You have never done anything but complain.
17 Have you forgotten the blessings I gave you? There in the desert when you were hungry and thirsty you cried out to me:
18 ‘Why have you brought us out to this desert to kill us? Being slaves to the Egyptians was better than coming here to die.’
19 I was moved by your bitter groans and gave you manna, the bread of angels.
20 When you were thirsty, I split the rock and all the water you needed flowed out. To protect you from the heat, I provided you with shady trees.
