where it was very hot and dry.
I gave food to my people, so that they were not hungry.

  1. 13:6 God gave the Israelites everything that they needed in the wilderness. See Exodus 16. It was God who fed them and gave them water. But they turned away from him.

I cared for you in the wilderness,(A)

So I will be like a lion(E) to them,
    like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
