But they soon forgot what he had done. They didn’t wait for what he had planned to happen.

等不多时，他们就忘了他的作为，不仰望他的指教，

很快地，他们就忘了他的作为，不仰望他的指引，

很快地，他们就忘了他的作为，不仰望他的指引，

然而，他们很快忘了祂的作为，不愿等候祂的引导。

可是他们很快就忘记了他的作为，不仰望他的意旨，

但他们很快就忘记了他的作为，也没有等候他的带领。

等不多時，他們就忘了他的作為，不仰望他的指教，

很快地，他們就忘了他的作為，不仰望他的指引，

很快地，他們就忘了他的作為，不仰望他的指引，

然而，他們很快忘了祂的作為，不願等候祂的引導。

可是他們很快就忘記了他的作為，不仰望他的意旨，

但他們很快就忘了他的作為，不等候着他的意旨，

但他們很快就忘記了他的作為，也沒有等候他的帶領。

遽爾忘其作為、不俟其旨兮、

厥後斯民、忘其經綸、不俟其命兮、

閱時未久、又忘主之作為、不候主之意旨、

不久即忘。慈訓不恤。

But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold.

But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.

Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done! They wouldn’t wait for his counsel!

They soon forgot his works and would not wait for his counsel.

They quickly forgot His works; They did not wait for His plan,

They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,

They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,

They soon forgot His works and would not wait for His counsel.

They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

They quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions.

They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,

The people told Moses they weren’t happy with him. They said,“ What are we supposed to drink?”

In the desert the whole community told Moses and Aaron they weren’t happy with them.

They forgot what he had done. They didn’t remember the wonders he had shown them.

Moses called the place Massah and Meribah. That’s because the people of Israel argued with him there. They also tested the Lord. They asked,“ Is the Lord among us or not?”

You turn away from all my advice. And you do not accept my warning.

So they argued with Moses. They said,“ Give us water to drink.” Moses replied,“ Why are you arguing with me? Why are you testing the Lord?”

The Lord is the Holy One of Israel. He sets his people free. He says to them,“ I am the Lord your God. I teach you what is best for you. I direct you in the way you should go.I wish you would pay attention to my commands. If you did, peace would flow over you like a river. Godliness would sweep over you like the waves of the ocean.

That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the commands of God. They had refused to follow the plans of the Most High God.

You will bring them in. You will plant them on the mountain you gave them. Lord, you have made that place your home. Lord, your hands have made your holy place secure.

You wouldn’t accept my advice. You turned your backs on my warnings.
