Contextual Overview

⁹ [Like as] the children of Ephraim, which beyng harnessed & carying bowes: turned their backes in the day of battayle. ¹⁰ They kept not the couenaunt of God: and they woulde not walke in his law. ¹¹ But they forgat his workes: and his wonders which he had shewed them. ¹² Marueylous thinges dyd he in the sight of their fathers: in the land of Egypt, in the fielde of Zoan. ¹³ He deuided the sea and let them go thorowe: he made the waters to stande as on an heape. ¹⁴ In the day time also he led them with a cloude: and all the night through with a light of fire. ¹⁵ He cloued the harde rockes in the wildernes: & gaue them drinke therof, as it had ben out of the great deepe waters. ¹⁶ He brought running streames out of a stonie rocke: and caused waters to gushe downe, like as out of riuers. ¹⁷ Yet for all this they sinned still against hym: so that they prouoked the most hyghest in the wildernesse. ¹⁸ And they temped god in their heartes: in requiring meate for their lust.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they sinned yet more against him,.... Or, "and they added yet to sin against him" c; which was great ingratitude; they had sinned before, and it might have been hoped that the goodness of God to them would have engaged them to have sinned no more, at least at such a rate, and in such a manner, as they had done; but instead of sinning less, they sinned more and more, they added sin to sin; such is the corrupt heart of man, notwithstanding the grace of God, and the blessings of it vouchsafed unto him:

by provoking the most High in the wilderness; everything is aggravating; the object against whom they sinned was the most High, which betrays their impiety, folly, and vanity; and they did not slightly sin against him, but did those things which were highly provoking and exasperating; and that in the wilderness, where they received so many favours, and where they must have been starved and perish, and could not have lived, without immediate provision, support, and protection, from the hand of the Lord.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And they sinned yet more against him - literally, “They added to sin against him.” The idea is, that his mercies, and the proofs of his presence were only made the occasion of greater sin on their part. This may have been in two ways;

(1) their sin was thus more aggravated, as being committed against greater light; and

(2) they evinced more and more their depravity, in proportion as he bestowed mercies on them - not an uncommon thing with people.

By provoking the Most High - literally, “embittering.” They rebelled against him. They refused to submit to him. They forgot his mercies. Compare Deuteronomy 9:22.

In the wilderness - literally, “in the dry place;” in the desert. In the very place where they were most manifestly dependent on him - where there were no natural streams of water - where their needs were met by a miraculous supply - even there did they provoke him, and rebel against him. If he had simply stopped that miraculous supply of water they must have perished. But sinners forget how dependent they are on God, when they sin against him. On what can they rely, if he withdraws from them, and leaves them to themselves?
