16 He made streams come out of the rock

and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

17 Yet they sinned still more against him,

rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

18 They tested God in their heart

by demanding the food they craved.

19 They spoke against God, saying,

“Can God spread a table in the wilderness?

20 He struck the rock so that water gushed out

and streams overflowed.

Can he also give bread

or provide meat for his people?”

16 He brought streams also out of the rock,

And caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 And they sinned yet more against him

By provoking the most High in the wilderness.

18 And they tempted God in their heart

By asking meat for their lust.

19 Yea, they spake against God; they said,

Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

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?

16 He made streams pour from the rock,

making the waters flow down like a river!

17 Yet they kept on sinning against him,

rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

18 They stubbornly tested God in their hearts,

demanding the foods they craved.

19 They even spoke against God himself, saying,

“God can’t give us food in the wilderness.

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

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

16 He also brought streams out of the rock,

And caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 But they sinned even more against Him

By rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.

18 And they tested God in their heart

By asking for the food of their fancy.

19 Yes, they spoke against God:

They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

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?”

16 He brought streams out of the rock

and caused water to flow down like rivers.

17 But the people continued to sin against him;

in the desert they turned against God Most High.

18 They decided to test God

by asking for the food they wanted.

19 Then they spoke against God,

saying, “Can God prepare food in the desert?

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?”

16 He brought streams also out of the rock,

And caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 Yet went they on still to sin against him,

To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

18 And they tempted God in their heart

By asking food according to their desire.

19 Yea, they spake against God;

They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

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?

16 And he brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 17 Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert; 18 And they tempted •God in their heart, by asking meat for their lust; 19 And they spoke against God: they said, Is •God able to prepare a table in the wilderness? 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?

16 He made streams come out of a rock. 

He made the water flow like rivers. 

17 They continued to sin against him, 

to rebel in the desert against the Most High. 

18 They deliberately tested God by demanding the food they craved. 

19 They spoke against God by saying, 

“Can God prepare a banquet in the desert? 

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?” 

16 He brought streams out of the stone

and made water flow down like rivers.

17 But they continued to sin against Him,

rebelling in the desert against the Most High.

18 They deliberately tested God,

demanding the food they craved.

19 They spoke against God, saying,

“Is God able to provide food in the wilderness?

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

torrents overflowed.

But can He also provide bread

or furnish meat for His people?”

16 He made streams come out of the rock,

and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

17 Yet they sinned still more against him,

rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

18 They tested God in their heart

by demanding the food they craved.

19 They spoke against God, saying,

“Can God spread a table in the wilderness?

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?”

16 And he brought streams out of the rock

and caused water to flow down like rivers.

17 But they sinned still further against him

by rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

18 And they tested God in their heart

by asking food for their craving.

19 And they spoke against God.

They said, “Is God able

to prepare a table in the wilderness?

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?”

16 He brought streams out of a rocky cliff.

He made water flow down like rivers.

17 But they continued to sin against him.

In the desert they refused to obey the Most High God.

18 They were stubborn and put God to the test.

They ordered him to give them the food they longed for.

19 They spoke against God. They said,

“Can God put food on a table in the desert?

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?”

16 He brought forth streams also from the rock

And caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 Yet they still continued to sin against Him,

To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

18 And in their heart they put God to the test

By asking food according to their desire.

19 Then they spoke against God;

They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

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?”
