14 (A)In the daytime he led them with a cloud,

16 He made streams come out of (C)the rock

17 Yet they sinned still more against him,

Can he also give bread

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

12 By (A)a pillar of cloud you led them in the day, and by a pillar of fire in the night to light for them the way in which they should go. 13 (B)You came down on Mount Sinai (C)and spoke with them from heaven and gave them (D)right rules and true laws, good statutes and commandments, 14 (E)and you made known to them your holy Sabbath and commanded them commandments and statutes and a law by Moses your servant. 15 (F)You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger and (G)brought water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and you (H)told them to go in to possess the land that you had sworn to give them.

16 “But they and our fathers (I)acted presumptuously and stiffened their neck and did not obey your commandments. 17 They refused to obey (J)and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their neck and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt.[a] But you are a God ready to forgive, (K)gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and did not forsake them. 18 Even (L)when they had made for themselves a golden[b] calf and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ (M)and had committed great blasphemies, 19 you (N)in your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. (O)The pillar of cloud to lead them in the way did not depart from them by day, (P)nor the pillar of fire by night to light for them the way by which they should go. 20 (Q)You gave your good Spirit to instruct them (R)and did not withhold your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst. 21 (S)Forty years you sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell.

22 “And you gave them kingdoms and peoples and allotted to them every corner. (T)So they took possession of the land of Sihon king of Heshbon (U)and the land of Og king of Bashan. 23 You multiplied their children (V)as the stars of heaven, and you brought them into the land that you had told their fathers to enter and possess.
