They again challenged God, and offended the Holy One of Israel.

For all the people have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have tempted me now these ten times, and have not obeyed me,

So they said to one another, "Let's appoint a leader and return to Egypt."

You must not put the Lord your God to the test as you did at Massah.

Whom have you taunted and hurled insults at? At whom have you shouted, and looked so arrogantly? At the Holy One of Israel!

They insulted God, saying, "Is God really able to give us food in the wilderness?

For our shield belongs to the Lord, our king to the Holy One of Israel.

While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter has died. Why trouble the teacher any longer?"

Our ancestors were unwilling to obey him, but pushed him aside and turned back to Egypt in their hearts,

"Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness.

For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than, having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that had been delivered to them.
