¹³ But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

²⁴ And the people, crying out against Moses, said, What are we to have for drink?

² And all the children of Israel were crying out against Moses and Aaron in the waste land:

¹¹ They let his works go out of their memory, and the wonders which he had made them see.

¹⁷ The Lord who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, I am the Lord your God, who is teaching you for your profit, guiding you by the way in which you are to go.

¹⁸ If only you had given ear to my orders, then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:

³⁰ They had no desire for my teaching, and my words of protest were as nothing to them.

²⁵ You were not controlled by my guiding, and would have nothing to do with my sharp words:

¹¹ Because they went against the words of God, and gave no thought to the laws of the Most High:

⁷ And he gave that place the name Massah and Meribah, because the children of Israel were angry, and because they put the Lord to the test, saying, Is the Lord with us or not?

² So the people were angry with Moses, and said, Give us water for drinking. And Moses said, Why are you angry with me? and why do you put God to the test?

¹⁷ You will take them in, planting them in the mountain of your heritage, the place, O Lord, where you have made your house, the holy place, O Lord, the building of your hands.
