²⁷ They performed^(A) his signs^(B) among them,
    his wonders^(C) in the land of Ham.
²⁸ He sent darkness^(D) and made the land dark—
    for had they not rebelled against^(E) his words?
²⁹ He turned their waters into blood,^(F)
    causing their fish to die.^(G)
30 Their land teemed with frogs,^(H)
    which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
³¹ He spoke,^(I) and there came swarms of flies,^(J)
    and gnats^(K) throughout their country.
³² He turned their rain into hail,^(L)
    with lightning throughout their land;
³³ he struck down their vines^(M) and fig trees^(N)
    and shattered the trees of their country.
³⁴ He spoke,^(O) and the locusts came,^(P)
    grasshoppers^(Q) without number;^(R)
35 they ate up every green thing in their land,
    ate up the produce of their soil.
³⁶ Then he struck down all the firstborn^(S) in their land,
    the firstfruits of all their manhood.

¹² He did miracles^(A) in the sight of their ancestors
    in the land of Egypt,^(B) in the region of Zoan.^(C)
13 He divided the sea^(D) and led them through;
    he made the water stand up like a wall.^(E)
14 He guided them with the cloud by day
    and with light from the fire all night.^(F)
15 He split the rocks^(G) 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^(H) against him,
    rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
¹⁸ They willfully put God to the test^(I)
    by demanding the food they craved.^(J)
19 They spoke against God;^(K)
    they said, “Can God really
    spread a table in the wilderness?
²⁰ True, he struck the rock,
    and water gushed out,^(L)
    streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
    Can he supply meat^(M) for his people?”
²¹ When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
    his fire broke out^(N) against Jacob,
    and his wrath rose against Israel,
²² for they did not believe in God
    or trust^(O) in his deliverance.
²³ Yet he gave a command to the skies above
    and opened the doors of the heavens;^(P)
24 he rained down manna^(Q) for the people to eat,
    he gave them the grain of heaven.
²⁵ Human beings ate the bread of angels;
    he sent them all the food they could eat.
²⁶ He let loose the east wind^(R) from the heavens
    and by his power made the south wind blow.
²⁷ He rained meat down on them like dust,
    birds^(S) like sand on the seashore.
²⁸ He made them come down inside their camp,
    all around their tents.
²⁹ They ate till they were gorged—^(T)
    he had given them what they craved.
³⁰ But before they turned from what they craved,
    even while the food was still in their mouths,^(U)
31 God’s anger rose against them;
    he put to death the sturdiest^(V) among them,
    cutting down the young men of Israel.

³² In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;^(W)
    in spite of his wonders,^(X) they did not believe.^(Y)
33 So he ended their days in futility^(Z)
    and their years in terror.
