7. That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,
8. And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
9. The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.
10. They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;
11. And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.
12. Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13. He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as a heap.
14. In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.
15. He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
16. He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.
17. Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.
18. And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.
19. Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
