The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,(A)
    turned back on the day of battle;(B)
10 they did not keep God’s covenant(C)
    and refused to live by his law.(D)
11 They forgot what he had done,(E)
    the wonders he had shown them.
12 He did miracles(F) in the sight of their ancestors
    in the land of Egypt,(G) in the region of Zoan.(H)
13 He divided the sea(I) and led them through;
    he made the water stand up like a wall.(J)
14 He guided them with the cloud by day
    and with light from the fire all night.(K)
15 He split the rocks(L) in the wilderness
    and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag
    and made water flow down like rivers.

17 But they continued to sin(M) against him,
    rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test(N)
    by demanding the food they craved.(O)
19 They spoke against God;(P)
    they said, “Can God really
    spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
    and water gushed out,(Q)
    streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
    Can he supply meat(R) for his people?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
    his fire broke out(S) against Jacob,
    and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
    or trust(T) in his deliverance.

The Ephraimites, armed with[a] the bow,
    (A)turned back on the day of battle.
10 They (B)did not keep God's covenant,
    but refused to walk according to his law.
11 They (C)forgot his works
    and (D)the wonders that he had shown them.
12 In the sight of their fathers (E)he performed wonders
    in the land of Egypt, in (F)the fields of Zoan.
13 He (G)divided the sea and let them pass through it,
    and made the waters (H)stand like a heap.
14 (I)In the daytime he led them with a cloud,
    and all the night with a fiery light.
15 He (J)split rocks in the wilderness
    and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.
16 He made streams come out of (K)the rock
    and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
    (L)rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18 They (M)tested God in their heart
    by demanding the food they craved.
19 They spoke against God, saying,
    (N)“Can God (O)spread a table in the wilderness?
20 (P)He struck the rock so that water gushed out
    and streams overflowed.
Can he also give bread
    or provide meat for his people?”

21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;
    (Q)a fire was kindled against Jacob;
    his anger rose against Israel,
22 because they (R)did not believe in God
    and did not trust his saving power.
