    He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.

  • Psalms 78:16

    He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

  • Psalms 78:17

    And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

  • Psalms 78:18

  • Psalms 78:57

    But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

  • Psalms 78:58

    For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
