Psalms 78:16

14 He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night.

15 He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.

He brought streams from the stone and made water flow down like rivers.

17 But they continued to sin against Him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High.

18 They willfully tested God by demanding the food they craved.
