Psalms 78:17-18
Psalms 78:17-20 The Message (MSG)
All they did was sin even more, rebel in the desert against the High God. They tried to get their own way with God, clamored for favors, for special attention. They whined like spoiled children, “Why can’t God give us a decent meal in this desert? Sure, he struck the rock and the water flowed, creeks cascaded from the rock. But how about some fresh-baked bread? How about a nice cut of meat?”
Psalms 78:17-18 King James Version (KJV)
And they sinned yet more against him By provoking the most High in the wilderness. And they tempted God in their heart By asking meat for their lust.
