  1. Hosea 7:16 Or to the Most High

27 “Therefore, (A)son of man, speak to the house of Israel and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: In this also your fathers blasphemed me, by (B)dealing treacherously with me. 28 For when I had brought them into the land that (C)I swore to give them, then wherever they saw (D)any high hill or any leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices and there they presented (E)the provocation of their offering; there they sent up their pleasing aromas, and there they poured out their drink offerings.

41 They (A)tested God again and again
    and provoked (B)the Holy One of Israel.

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

17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
    (K)rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18 They (L)tested God in their heart
    by demanding the food they craved.
19 They spoke against God, saying,
    (M)“Can God (N)spread a table in the wilderness?
20 (O)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;
    (P)a fire was kindled against Jacob;
    his anger rose against Israel,
22 because they (Q)did not believe in God
    and did not trust his saving power.
23 Yet he commanded the skies above
    and (R)opened the doors of heaven,
24 and he (S)rained down on them manna to eat
    and gave them (T)the grain of heaven.
25 Man ate of the bread of (U)the angels;
    he sent them food (V)in abundance.
26 He (W)caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
    and by his power he led out the south wind;
27 he rained meat on them like (X)dust,
    winged birds like (Y)the sand of the seas;
28 he (Z)let them fall in the midst of their camp,
    all around their dwellings.
29 And they (AA)ate and were well filled,
    for he gave them what they (AB)craved.
30 But before they had satisfied their craving,
    (AC)while the food was still in their mouths,
31 the anger of God rose against them,
    and he killed (AD)the strongest of them
    and laid low (AE)the young men of Israel.

32 In spite of all this, they (AF)still sinned;
    (AG)despite his wonders, they did not believe.
33 So he made (AH)their days (AI)vanish like[a] a breath,[b]
    and their years in terror.
34 When he killed them, they (AJ)sought him;
    they repented and sought God earnestly.
35 They remembered that God was their (AK)rock,
    the Most High God their (AL)redeemer.
36 But they (AM)flattered him with their mouths;
    they (AN)lied to him with their tongues.
37 Their (AO)heart was not (AP)steadfast toward him;
    they were not faithful to his covenant.
