Psalm 78:16

Lessons From Israel's Past

¹⁵ He split the rocks in the wilderness
And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths.
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.
