2 Esdras 1:21-23

Revised Standard Version

²¹ I divided fertile lands among you; I drove out the Canaanites, the Per′izzites, and the Philistines before you. What more can I do for you? says the Lord. ²² Thus says the Lord Almighty: When you were in the wilderness, at the bitter stream, thirsty and blaspheming my name, ²³ I did not send fire upon you for your blasphemies, but threw a tree into the water and made the stream sweet.
