Psalms 78:17-23

17Yet they kept on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

18They stubbornly tested God in their hearts, demanding the foods they craved.

19They even spoke against God himself, saying, “God can’t give us food in the wilderness.

20Yes, he can strike a rock so water gushes out, but he can’t give his people bread and meat.”

21When the Lord heard them, he was furious. The fire of his wrath burned against Jacob. Yes, his anger rose against Israel,

22for they did not believe God or trust him to care for them.

23But he commanded the skies to open; he opened the doors of heaven.
