20 True, he struck the rock,

and water gushed out,

streams flowed abundantly,

but can he also give us bread?

Can he supply meat for his people?”

21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;

his fire broke out against Jacob,

and his wrath rose against Israel,

22 for they did not believe in God

or trust in his deliverance.

20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out,

And the streams overflowed;

Can he give bread also?

Can he provide flesh for his people?

21 Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth:

So a fire was kindled against Jacob,

And anger also came up against Israel;

22 Because they believed not in God,

And trusted not in his salvation:

20 Yes, he can strike a rock so water gushes out,

but he can’t give his people bread and meat.”

21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious.

The fire of his wrath burned against Jacob.

Yes, his anger rose against Israel,

22 for they did not believe God

or trust him to care for them.

20 Behold, He struck the rock,

So that the waters gushed out,

And the streams overflowed.

Can He give bread also?

Can He provide meat for His people?”

21 Therefore the Lord heard this and was furious;

So a fire was kindled against Jacob,

And anger also came up against Israel,

22 Because they did not believe in God,

And did not trust in His salvation.

20 When he hit the rock, water poured out

and rivers flowed down.

But can he give us bread also?

Will he provide his people with meat?”

21 When the Lord heard them, he was very angry.

His anger was like fire to the people of Jacob;

his anger grew against the people of Israel.

22 They had not believed God

and had not trusted him to save them.

20 Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out,

And streams overflowed;

Can he give bread also?

Will he provide flesh for his people?

21 Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth;

And a fire was kindled against Jacob,

And anger also went up against Israel;

22 Because they believed not in God,

And trusted not in his salvation.

20 Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people? 21 Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; and fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel: 22 Because they believed not in God, and confided not in his salvation;

20 True, he did strike a rock, 

and water did gush out, 

and the streams did overflow. 

But can he also give us bread or provide us, his people, with meat?” 

21 When the Lord heard this, he became furious. 

His fire burned against Jacob 

and his anger flared up at Israel 

22 because they did not believe God 

or trust him to save them. 

20 Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out;

torrents overflowed.

But can He also provide bread

or furnish meat for His people?”

21 Therefore, the Lord heard and became furious;

then fire broke out against Jacob,

and anger flared up against Israel

22 because they did not believe God

or rely on His salvation.

20 Even though he struck the rock so that water gushed out

and torrents overflowed,

can he also give bread,

or provide meat for his people?”

21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of rage;

a fire was kindled against Jacob,

his anger mounted against Israel,

22 because they had no faith in God,

and did not trust his saving power.

20 Yes, he struck the rock and water flowed

and streams gushed out,

but can he also give food

or provide meat for his people?”

21 Therefore Yahweh heard

and he was very angry,

and a fire was kindled against Jacob,

and his anger also rose up against Israel,

22 because they did not believe God,

and they did not trust his salvation.

20 When he struck the rock, streams of water poured out.

Huge amounts of water flowed down.

But can he also give us food?

Can he supply meat for his people?”

21 When the Lord heard what they said, he was very angry.

His anger broke out like fire against the people of Jacob.

He became very angry with Israel.

22 That was because they didn’t believe in God.

They didn’t trust in his power to save them.

20 “Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out,

And streams were overflowing;

Can He give bread also?

Will He provide meat for His people?”

21 Therefore the Lord heard and was full of wrath;

And a fire was kindled against Jacob

And anger also mounted against Israel,

22 Because they did not believe in God

And did not trust in His salvation.
