⁹ When your fathers put me to the test and saw my power and my work.

²² Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;

⁹ And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.

⁵⁶ But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

¹⁷ And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;

¹⁸ Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.

⁴⁰ How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!

⁴¹ Again they put God to the test, and gave pain to the Holy One of Israel.

²⁰ Then he went on to say hard things to the towns where most of his works of power were done, because they had not been turned from their sins.

²¹ Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.

²² But I say to you, It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judging, than for you.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.
