NIV
40. | How often they rebelled against him in the desert and grieved him in the wasteland! |
41. | Again and again they put God to the test; they vexed the Holy One of Israel. |
42. | They did not remember his power -- the day he redeemed them from the oppressor, |
43. | the day he displayed his miraculous signs in Egypt, his wonders in the region of Zoan. |
44. | He turned their rivers to blood; they could not drink from their streams. |
45. | He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them. |
46. | He gave their crops to the grasshopper, their produce to the locust. |
47. | He destroyed their vines with hail and their sycamore-figs with sleet. |
48. | He gave over their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning. |
49. | He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation and hostility -- a band of destroying angels. |
50. | He prepared a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death but gave them over to the plague. |
51. | He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt, the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham. |
52. | But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the desert. |
53. | He guided them safely, so they were unafraid; but the sea engulfed their enemies. |
54. | Thus he brought them to the border of his holy land, to the hill country his right hand had taken. |
55. | He drove out nations before them and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance; he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes. |
