15 He in the Wilderness did cleave ‖ the solid Rock asunder; ‖ and He did make them for to Drink ‖ as out of mighty Deeps. ‖
16 Yea, He did bring forth flowing Streams ‖ out of the solid Stone; ‖ and like to Rivers He did cause ‖ the Waters to run down. ‖
17 But they in Sinning against Him ‖ did add yet more and more; ‖ Thereby provoking the most High ‖ while in the Wilderness. ‖
18 And in their Heart Tempting of Him ‖ they tried the mighty God; ‖ They did it by Desiring food ‖ to suit their Appetite. ‖
