7. He is our God;we are the people he cares for,the flock for which he provides.Listen today to what he says:
8. “Don't be stubborn, as your ancestors were at Meribah,as they were that day in the desert at Massah.
9. There they put me to the test and tried me,although they had seen what I did for them.
10. For forty years I was disgusted with those people.I said, ‘How disloyal they are!They refuse to obey my commands.’
11. I was angry and made a solemn promise:‘You will never enter the landwhere I would have given you rest.’ ”
