## Psalms 78:12-20 in Context (Verses 9–23 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/psalms/78/9) The children of Ephraim, *being* armed, *and* carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/78/10) They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/78/11) And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/psalms/78/12) Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, *in* the field of Zoan.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/psalms/78/13) He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/psalms/78/14) In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/psalms/78/15) He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave *them* drink as *out of* the great depths.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/psalms/78/16) He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/psalms/78/17) And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/psalms/78/18) And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/psalms/78/19) Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/psalms/78/20) Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
 
 [21 ](/kjv/psalms/78/21) Therefore the LORD heard *this*, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
 
 [22 ](/kjv/psalms/78/22) Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/psalms/78/23) Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
