and tested your faith when there was no water at Meribah.

“Listen to me, O my people, while I give you stern warnings.

O Israel, if you would only listen to me!

You must never have a foreign god;

you must not bow down before a false god.

who rescued you from the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it with good things.
